10 recommendations of the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology for the management of new outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in nursing homes for elderly people (Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology)

The following recommendations are aimed at the control of outbreaks that will appear during de-escalation in nursing homes (opening of nursing homes to family visits and outings of residents). These recommendations are made to pursue two objectives:

  • Objective 1: to provide a rapid response to the appearance of any outbreak, trying to stop the spread of infection.
  • Objective 2: to adequately treat patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the best possible location and, depending on their clinical situation and wishes, to offer preventive, supportive or palliative treatment. As is done for the rest of the population.
