COVID-19- Age Perspective

"Older adults are at a significantly increased risk of severe disease following infection from COVID-19." — Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge


The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global health, with older adults experiencing disproportionate effects. Understanding the multifaceted challenges faced by this demographic is crucial for developing effective strategies to protect and support them.​

The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the vulnerabilities and strengths within the geriatric population. Addressing these challenges requires targeted public health strategies, enhanced mental health support, and systemic reforms in elderly care to ensure the well-being and dignity of older adults in the face of ongoing and future health crises.
