Rocco Nacino reminds individuals to educate their elderly family members about COVID-19.
Unless absolutely necessary, senior citizens should avoid going outdoors as they have a weaker immune system, making them more vulnerable to catch diseases like COVID-19.
Extra precautions are needed when dealing with the elderly, however, some of them tend to disobey such orders.
For Rocco Nacino, whose both mother and father are in their 60s, the best way to help elderly family members stay at home is by primarily educating them about the present coronavirus.
The registered nurse/navy reservist/actor said, "For me, the best way talaga is to educate people, ikukuwento sa kanila kung ano ang mangyayari.
"Siguro para fair, i-limit n'yo na lang 'yung oras na nasa labas kayo
"Siguraduhin na may kasama sila na magre-remind sa kanila na huwag na huwag humawak sa mga bata o kung sino man."
Rocco added that it takes a lot of patience and understanding in communicating with them as they are difficult to deal with because of their old age.
He said, "Alam ko lahat tayo may problem with the elders na hindi nakikinig.
"Kaya dapat mahaba [ang] pasensya natin na huwag tayong mag-resort sa negative reinforcement na papagalitan natin sila.
"More on mag-suggest tayo nang mag-suggest baka mas okay limitahan natin 'yung paglabas ny'o.
"Magsuot kayo ng gloves, magsuot kayo ng mask.
"Labas konti tapos balik ulit sa bahay."
Rocco then suggested, "Kung ako mas i-e-encourage ko na lang na manood sila ng TV, mga programa ng GMA para matuwa na lang sila."
