[The number of deaths from COVID-19 in long-term care during the pandemic in Germany].
The impact of COVID-19 on long-term care, and particularly on mortality, has been described early on. The aim of the present article was to estimate the number of COVID-19 deaths among care recipients while distinguishing between different care situations. Additionally, the influence of protective measures and the evolution of the risk of COVID-19-related mortality among care recipients and the general population were compared. The results indicate that approximately 80% of all COVID-19 deaths in Germany occurred among care recipients, with nearly half of all deaths occurring among residents of nursing homes. The risk of COVID-19 mortality for care recipients initially decreased compared to the general population following prioritized vaccination efforts, but notably increased again in 2022.
