Death in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic

Article indépendant

INGRAVALLO, Francesca

Behavioural and social interventions adopted to contain the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are strongly affecting the way that people die in many countries, such as Italy. In health-care facilities, both infected and non-infected patients are isolated. Patients can only communicate with their loved ones via mobile phones or electronic tablets, if these patients are able to use them. For physicians and nurses, who are already overwhelmed by the emergency, providing support to patients helps to maintain humanity at the end of life, but might also be emotionally exhausting. [1er paragraphe]
