Short videos shot at a nursing home in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin are aimed at enriching the inner world of its elderly residents and maintaining their optimistic life view.
The guidance introduced "new patterns" and "complementary forms" of senior care, including community care at home, institutional care and travel-based care.
The reason that China chose to adjust its COVID-19 response measures at this juncture is directly related to national elderly vaccination, said Liang Wannian, head of the COVID-19 response expert panel under China's National Health Commission when interviewed by state broadcaster CCTV.
The work plan issued on Tuesday by the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism against COVID-19 aims to leverage the protective effect of vaccination to reduce the risk of severe or critical illness and death among infected seniors.
Government bodies will learn about the living conditions of the elderly through regular visits or phone calls and offer encouragement to their children or the people who help support them.
