Abstract in brief

  • People with dementia often struggle to understand COVID-19 restrictions, leading to distress for both them and their carers, and sometimes causing them to put themselves in danger.
  • Carers report that many people with dementia have limited to no comprehension of public health measures, which increases their vulnerability and complicates their care.
  • To better protect people with dementia, public health guidelines should be simplified and tailored to their needs, as blanket restrictions can cause unnecessary distress and misunderstandings.]
