This study analyzed the perception of key stakeholders regarding the confinement and/or deconfinement measures implemented in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile.

Specifically, we analyzed the municipalities that adhered to the Friendly Cities initiative, in order to generate sustainable strategies for emergency (health and non-health) management in elderly persons, based on the lessons learned from the pandemic.

MICARE research associate María Beatriz Fernández,  CEVE UC, DESUC and the National Service for Elderly Persons SENAMA (Tender 1300-39-LE20) participated in this study.
