COVID-19 and the Elderly

At this time, adults 65 years or older seem to be at a higher risk for serious complications from COVID-19.  According to the World Health Organization, more than 95% of all deaths recorded were among people over the age of 60.  A third of those deaths occurred in long-term care facilities.

As advocates for the elderly, CareLink is dedicated to bridging the gap in communication and care, and to combating ageism during the pandemic.
