The authors conclude that contact with working-age adults, whether in a household, a care home, or in a neighbourhood with high population density, was associated with higher mortality from COVID-19 among older adults. The findings also support a mathematical model of COVID-19 transmission and mortality, which predicted that without significant social distancing in other age groups, sheltering behaviours for older adults are not expected to be protective. Despite the considerable emotional and physical support that caregivers and family can offer older adults, isolating at home with younger household members appears to still confer considerable risk for COVID-19 exposure.
