This article from New York Times explains the recent study that has shown that people with dementia are more prone to get infected with COVID-19 because of their old age, living in nursing homes, and people with conditions such as asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc; which are all known risk factors pertaining to COVID-19. As the study suggested, people who are around the elderly need to be more aware of their surroundings and be responsible to make certain that they are wearing masks and keeping a safe distance.
I think that it is even more critical now to follow all the guidelines that have been recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in order to maintain and reduce the widespread of COVID-19 because it is affecting the elderly.
