Day care centres in the area will temporarily close on Friday in response to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Powys County Council said Newtown's Park Day Centre and Llanidloes' Maesywennol will close their doors
The day centre part of the Bethshan nursing home has already closed.
Cllr Myfanwy Alexander, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Adult Social Care with the council. She explained: “In difficult times like these, we have to make some tough decisions.
"We know very well how much our day centres are valued by those who use them and by their families but our priority has to be the safety of the vulnerable. We have plans in place to support people in their own homes and
I will greatly look forward to calling in for a cup of tea when the service is resumed when the crisis is over.”
The council is putting in place support for those people who will require a meal and personal care, which they normally receive at the day centres.
"We would ask that the people of Powys consider elderly people in their communities who may be at risk of isolation and reach out to them by telephone at this difficult time," said a council spokesperson.
Should anyone have any queries regarding the day centre closures, contact 07990 645847 (North Powys) or email north.duty@powys.gov.uk.
In addition, Welshpool’s Day Centre has advised that they are offering hot meals to others in the community.
Bethshan will continue to support by providing meals to the clients who would have attended the centre.
