“…Such a prevalence of atypical symptoms in this study confirms the great variety of presentations of the infection in this age group, confirming studies that have reported COVID-19 diagnosis after admission for syncope and delirium [25], or fall in older adults [26]. Further, an anomalous clinical presentation of COVID-19 heightens the risk of misdiagnosis leading to inappropriate medical care without quarantine and can be particularly dangerous in terms of infectiousness when considering nursing homes [18,27].…”

“…AWGS recommends telephone‐ or online‐based support interventions for homebound seniors to prevent functional declines, and anxiety and/or depressive mood; adequate psychosocial support and financial relief schemes should be rendered to the “invisible workforce” of family caregivers and foreign/domestic helpers to ensure appropriate day‐to‐day care for seniors in home settings. AWGS recommends COVID‐19‐specific strategies for long‐term care facilities, including support for staff members, infection prevention and control processes, e.g., PPE, physical distancing measures, environmental cleaning and disinfection, visitor policy and restriction of movement . Moreover, a COVID‐19 support platform to advise care via telemedicine, implement screening for COVID‐19 and provide support for staff is recommended. AWGS recommends specific attentions to be paid to common geriatric conditions (e.g., delirium and falls), functional rehabilitation and end‐of‐life care for frail older adults admitted to acute hospitals, as these patients may be looked after by non‐geriatricians AWGS recommends that ethical frameworks that are developed for outbreak response should not automatically disqualify older people from access to intensive care based on age cutoffs .…”
