abstract = {There is a broad misperception that there are very few long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). In fact, there are large and rapidly growing networks of residential care services for older people in Latin America, many parts of Asia, South Africa and other middle-income settings (Camarano et al, 2010; Cheung Wong and Leung, 2012; Lloyd-Sherlock, 2019). In high-income countries, there is a substantial body of evidence that LTCF populations have been the most high-risk group for COVID-19 mortality and this is generating (belatedly) a strong policy focus on this issue (Comas-Herrera et al, 2020; Cousins, 2020).},
