ABSTRACT
The older population has been the most vulnerable to severe forms of the disease and progression to death, especially frail older adults, those with comorbidities, and residents in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Mortality increases linearly with age, being 3.6% in the 60-69 age group, 8% in the 70-79 age group, and 14.8% in those over 80 years old. This article describes guidelines and recommendations for the development of institutional action plans to prevent and contain the dissemination of COVID-19 in LTCFs.
