Abstract: 

Objective: To report the multiprofessional gerontological care provided in the hospital context to an elderly person with multiple complications caused by coronavirus infection. Methods: This is a case study with a 63-year-old male patient treated at a reference hospital for the treatment of coronavirus infection. A multidisciplinary approach was carried out, based on health care instruments for the elderly used by the gerontological team during hospitalization and post-discharge care. Results: There was a significant improvement in the patient's general condition, as well as in cognitive status, muscle tone and a good positive prognosis of pressure injuries (PPI) acquired during hospitalization. Conclusion: Thus, it is concluded that the multidisciplinary care provided was of great importance for the restoration of health and the consequent discharge of the patient, showing that care guided by gerontological guidelines are essential, as well as the process of recovery at home with post-discharge care.
