Aged Care
Residents of aged care facilities are at increased risk of
COVID-19 infection due to the environment of communal living
facilities. The residents are also more vulnerable to serious
complications if they do become infected due to their age and
comorbidities.
Globally, as many as half of all coronavirus deaths in Europe
are residents of aged care facilities, the World Health
Organization (WHO) says. Dr Hans Kluge, WHO's regional director
for Europe, described the number of aged care deaths as a
"deeply concerning picture".
