Coronavirus, a large group of large variety of single-chain RNA viruses that can cause disease in humans and animals, has come to the agenda as the cause of unidentified cases of pneumonia in China with December 2019. This respiratory infection, which was defined as COVID-19, has been declared a pandemic worldwide by the World Health Organization. The number of cases and deaths due to the disease increases every day and reaches serious dimensions for all humanity. The mortality rate, especially for the elderly and those with chronic illnesses, is quite high compared to other age groups. Turkey’s ageing population rate of 9.1 per cent indicates that it is at risk. The vulnerable elderly population, which is dependent on the continuation of daily life activities, a group of lower ability to move, characterized by impotence and impotence, is more risky and a group of other groups with COVID-19. Therefore, it is very important to protect the vulnerable elderly population from COVID-19 and to create proper planning and applications for diagnosis and post-treatment rehabilitation as soon as possible. The purpose in the writing of this collection is to identify nursing interventions towards the effects of COVID-19 in the elderly with vulnerability criteria and to contribute to literature in this regard.
