He supported the elderly couple by holding the phone at the window and trying to get them to contact each other through a phone call. The couple then later bid their farewell to each other as Dorothy starts living without even knowing when they will reunite with each other.
Elderly people are more vulnerable to the disease as coronavirus attacks the immune system and the immune system of the elderly is not strong enough to fight with the disease. Therefore it is necessary to take all the precautionary measures to ensure their safety. In these tough times, we all hope you follow all the important steps to ensure the health safety of yourself and your family members.
