Abstract
The declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization on
March 11, 2020, led to unprecedented events. All regions of the world participated in
implementing preventive health measures such as physical distancing, travel restrictions,
self-isolation, quarantines, and facility closures. The pandemic started global disruption
of socio-economic systems, covering the postponement or cancellation of public events,
supply shortages, schools and universities’ closures, evacuation of foreign citizens, and a rise in
unemployment and inflation, misinformation, the anti-vaccine movement, and incidents
of discrimination toward people affected by or suspected of having coronavirus disease.
Attempts have been made to protect the oldest age group at risk, but in many cases, this
has led to over-restriction and age discrimination.
