In many countries nursing home populations have accounted for half of all deaths during the first wave of COVID-19.
Infection and risk of death are not the only risks related to COVID-19. The lockdown causes risks of cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, frailty and disabilities.
The risks of prolonged isolation should be weighted against the COVID-19 risks.
在许多国家，养老院人群占 COVID-19 第一波死亡人数的一半。
感染和死亡风险并不是与 COVID-19 相关的唯一风险。封锁导致认知能力下降、抑郁、焦虑、虚弱和残疾的风险。
长期隔离的风险应与 COVID-19 风险权衡。
