The Seniors Legal and Support Service is providing critical assistance to older Queenslanders to support them through the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Older people bear the lion’s share of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Cybele Koning, CEO of Caxton Legal Centre. “They face a disproportionate risk of death, are impacted more profoundly by social distancing measures and they are further threatened due to their care support needs and living in higher-risk environments such as aged care facilities.”
The statistics are already telling. In Australia, sadly, all deaths due to the virus have been of older people.
