Abstract

The paper focuses on different emotional well-being difficulties experienced by the elderly population during the Covid-19 pandemic. Literature was searched on both electronic databases including such as PubMed and manually. To resolve the issues there is a need to develop a new medical care system for the elderly in consultation with clinicians, healthcare workers, and researchers. There is a need for more research on the impact of Covid-19 on mental health, particularly in elderly populations.
