It is reportedly caused due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus which is known to impair the lower respiratory tract causing distress. Usually affects the aged population and people with less immunity. Thus, it becomes important to make the elderly population aware of the effects of COVID infections.

Conclusion: This study gives an insight into the public perception towards the awareness of self-isolation to fight COVID-19 among elderly people.&#13;
