Abstract:
This joint report from TILDA and ALONE examines the issues of loneliness and social isolation with specific reference to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. Measures introduced to curtail the spread of COVID-19, including social distancing, self-isolation and ‘cocooning’ among the over 70s, have meant disruption to familiar routines and social interactions, particularly among older adults.
