Brief Summary

The "ARECOVID" project is a comprehensive sociological study of what is being played out in organizational terms in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through quantitative methods (questionnaires) and qualitative methods (semi-directive interviews), we would understand the essential views of the populations concerned by COVID-19, but also that of actors taking care of vulnerable elderly non-COVID. Special attention will be paid to the care pathway of elderly people with and without the virus, in a health system in full reorganization. We will try to understand the needs and experiences of all health actors (hospital/city) involved in COVID-19 and the experience of confinement and the Covid-19 of the elderly living at home, in order to reflect on a possible improvement in the health response of elderly people in the event of an epidemic health crisis.
