Abstract

The causative factors of Coronavirus disease mainly the viruses. Through news we aware that pneumonia cases seen recently in Wuhan city, China. Due to unknown causes. Coronaviruses that cause illness such as a common cold. The Coronavirus infection identified with respiratory symptoms and pneumonia, the severe form of coronavirus infection mainly associated with death and low immune system patients. It is very important for us to more focus on geriatric people because in our countries, geriatric group people facing health problems at this present situation. According to articles Clinical Pathology, Pathogenesis, Immunopathology, and Mitigation Strategies, in that said geriatric people and low immune system patient with symptoms related history are more prone to COVID infection. But according to recent information by WHO all people are at risk of coronavirus but mostly geriatric people facing more risk of developing a severe respiratory infection. Geriatric people easily get coronavirus syndrome due to physical changes that occur as increasing age. There were 95% of these deaths seen in geriatric people above 60 years older. Above 50% of all fatal conditions occurred in geriatric people between 60- 80 years ago. There having disease control and prevention center, which indicate that rates of hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions and mortality reported among COVID-19 cases in the United States are substantially higher among patients older than 45 years compared with younger patients, with case-fatality rates exceeding 1.4% among patients aged 55 to 64 years and exceeding 2.7% among those aged 65 to 74 years.

Highlights

  • COVID-19 disease is caused due to the new coronavirus, It has not been previously found in human beings

  • Writing the articles on COVID -19 in geriatric population is very important in according to present situation because COVID -19 spread fastly in population but due to physical ability to cope up with COVID -19 infection is less in geriatric population and according to my observation in everyone house having older people and if they get an infection so it will be very serious condition and this disease transmission chain is spread all over society and increase the mortality rate among the population so it’s very important to focus on Geriatric population

  • COVID -19 was a fatal infection to all populations but the major risk for an especially geriatric population so according to recent scenarios day by day it’s increasing gradually among older so need to Health advisory for Elderly Population
