“…The rate of transmissibility is higher than 60%, with high mortality 3,4 once the virus is introduced in these institutions. Indeed, the highest mortality is due to the cumulative and synergistic causality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in frail older adults, who are known to be more susceptible to the disease, as they carry multiple risk factors, such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases, which usually occur in association [5][6][7][8][9] . Besides the higher prevalence of comorbidities, institutionalized older adults are frailer and arefunctionally-dependent, which further reduces their homeostatic reserve, culminating in more significant impairment of their ability to recover from any acute attack 10 .…”
