NEW DELHI: Scientists with the Indian Council of Medical Research said they were looking at a strategy to isolate elderly people with co-morbidity health conditions in order to protect them should the outbreak progress to the “community transmission” stage in India.Two scientists working with ICMR told TOI that in keeping with the WHO’s suggestion, a strategy was being worked out to protect aged people. People aged over 60 have been found to be more susceptible to the infection.“ICMR is seriously considering the option of isolating elderly people with co-morbidity to protect them from contracting Covid-19,” a senior virologist said. “It is now clear that elders are vulnerable to the disease , especially senior citizens with co-morbidity conditions,” he said.
