The objective of this research was to identify the main weaknesses presented by the elderly, due to the isolation, imposed by the new Coronavirus. The risks of the elderly in developing more severe forms of the Coronavirus, due to comorbidity and fragility in the face of the virus infection. It is an integrative review, that is, one of the methods that seeks to analyze and synthesize in order to gather research results. The bibliographic survey was carried out on articles available on the internet, through the LILACS Latino- and SciELO databases. As a result, the risk of complications from COVID-19 increases with age, since most deaths occur in the elderly, especially those with chronic illnesses. It is concluded that, the nurse working to combat Covid-19, must promote health, care for the patient in all areas, including promoting rehabilitation in more complex cases.
