    As countries are affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the elderly population will soon be told to self-isolate for “a very long time” in the UK, and elsewhere.1 This attempt to shield the over-70s, and thereby protect over-burdened health systems, comes as worldwide countries enforce lockdowns, curfews, and social isolation to mitigate the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

    • 3月19日_COVID-19与隔离老年人的后果 1.时间:2020年3月19日 2.机构或团队:诺丁汉大学 3.事件概要: 诺丁汉大学流行病学与公共卫生学院的科研人员在The Lancet Public Health期刊在线发表题为“COVID-19 and the consequences of isolating the elderly”的通讯文章。文章称,由于一些国家/地区受到COVID-19的影响,英国和其他地区的老年人口将很快被告知进行“很长一段时间”自我隔离,此举旨在保护70岁以上的老人。 但是,文章提出,老年人的社会隔离是“严重的公共卫生问题”,因为他们患心血管疾病、自身免疫性疾病、神经认知疾病和精神健康疾病的风险更高。文章建议,尽管数字资源的获取或读写能力可能存在差异,政府也可以利用在线技术来提供社会支持网络和归属感。干预措施可以简单地包括和重要的人、亲密的家人与朋友、志愿组织、医疗保健人员之间的更频繁的电话联系,或者是在整个被迫隔离期间提供同伴支持的社区外展项目。此外,可以在线提供认知行为疗法以减少孤独感并改善心理健康。隔离老年人可能会减少疾病传播,有利于延缓病例高峰期并使传播到高危人群的可能性减至最小。然而,随着时间的推移,可能会减少对隔离策略的遵循。这些措施必须及时有效以防止传播,但要避免增加与情感障碍相关的COVID-19的发病率。这种影响对处境不利和边缘化的人群最为明显,应立即将其作为实施预防战略的紧急目标。 4.附件: 原文链接:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(20)30061-X/fulltext

This development has had serious implications for public institutions and raises particular questions for medical schools. Frequent rotations between departments and hospitals make medical students potential vectors for COVID-19. Equally, as trainee doctors we stand to learn a tremendous amount and can contribute to the care of patients, particularly if the UK General Medical Council triggers article 18a of the Medical Student Act (1983).
