意大利受到严重急性呼吸道综合征-冠状病毒-2（SARS-CoV-2）大流行的严重打击。这份简短的报告突出了其老年人口所表现出的一些特点，特别是那些生活在护理机构和家中的老年人。报告了死亡率数据（截至4月26日），以及对强迫隔离、孤独和害怕感染疾病的反应，这对所有人，特别是体弱的老年人来说是一个巨大的挑战。
Italy has been hit very hard by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. This brief report highlights some of the peculiarities manifested by its older adult population, with particular reference to those living in nursing institutions and at home. Mortality data (as of 26 April) are reported, together with reactions to forced isolation, loneliness, and fear of contracting the disease, which represent big challenges for all, especially for frail elderly people.
