Enrique Soto Pérez de Celis, MD, MSc, a geriatric oncologist and researcher in the Department of Geriatrics at the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán in Mexico City, Mexico, discusses ways to reduce the risk of contracting the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 is expected to rise, particularly in older patients with cancer who are more vulnerable to the virus, says Soto Pérez de Celis.

However, the severity of COVID-19 is unpredictable, so patients should take proactive and preventative measures to avoid populated areas and follow the recommendations that have been made by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These strategies can help minimize one’s risk of contracting the virus, concludes Soto Pérez de Celis.
