Background
COVID-19 was found in late 2019 which causes severe respiratory illness. Cognitive impairment patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) are having a higher risk of COVID infection and other pulmonary diseases leading to a high mortality rate. A risk factor is the ‘age’ that forms a link between Alzheimer’s and the morbidity related to COVID 19. This perspective encloses the measures which may help to mitigate the management of COVID-19 in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The article updates primarily on prevalence, incidence, associated risk factors, supervision, and care for patients suffering from ADRD which can help to decrease the burden on the patients suffering from ADRD.

This article was reviewed referring to websites like Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, MedKnow Publications, NCBI.NLM.NIH, EBSCO, Web of Science, etc.
Results and Discussion
It was illustrated by various cases of COVID 19 that people with elderly i.e., above 70 years were at high risk of mortality due to weaker immune system, synaptic loss, and impaired cognition. Mortality due to pneumonia is twice more prevalent in dementia patients than in the without dementia. Smoking is another risk factor for AD in elderly persons. According to the previous cases reported, it was found that people who were taking high consumption of fish, omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acid diet linked to lessen the chances of AD and dementia-like symptoms. Patients with AD and related dementia should be encouraged for virtual meeting/ e-consultation/ telemedicine/ online mental health programs instead of clinical visits. Vaccination would greatly assist geriatric people during the COVID-19 pandemic which may help them to overcome the infection.
