Supporting North Dakota Communities during the Coronavirus Pandemic

AARP North Dakota sent out a questionnaire to gather information to help older people and those caring for them protect themselves from the coronavirus and help prevent it from spreading to others. This graphic summarizes the responses.

This information has helped AARP North Dakota identify options to help communities during this challenging time.

Additionally, now more than ever, the 68,000 caregivers in North Dakota are playing a vital role in keeping their families safe and healthy.

We’re hoping this information also helps guide the state and local efforts to protect older North Dakotan’s.
