‼️TODAY, March 19 at 1pm ‼️
The coronavirus lockdown is difficult for everyone, but it’s especially challenging if you’re among the 6 million Californians over age 65 — or if you’re caring for a senior citizen.
How do I stay safe? Can I go to the grocery store? Will I be able to pay my bills?

Join us TODAY for answers to these questions and more. CalMatters health care reporter Ana Ibarra and assistant editor Judy Lin will moderate a discussion tomorrow with Kim McCoy Wade, the director of California’s Department of Aging, on what California’s seniors can do to get through the coronavirus pandemic.
