Abstract

Older Marylanders (80 + years old), who make a large majority of long-term care residents, have the highest risk of contracting and dying from COVID-19. Complying with the preventive measures suggested by the Maryland Department of Health is critical to protect Maryland’s oldest old, both in communities as well as in long-term care facilities.
