The pandemic generated by Covid-19, has produced global effects not seen in these times, and not only in health, but in all areas of life, which has led governments to make decisions of all kinds and not only sanitary to reduce the spread of the pandemic and its aftermath. For this, the States use the constitutional tools that allow them to restrict the exercise of some fundamental rights, to achieve their objective. However, these "remedies" cause severe side effects, in the so-called "vulnerable groups". In this article, we intend to analyze how in Brazil and Chile, the decisions of the authority, although they look to the common good, have the contradiction of particularly affecting the members of these groups, focusing our work on the situation of older adults, given certain specific effects that lie in this segment of society.

Keywords : Fundamental Rights and Covid-19; Elderly and Fundamental Rights; restriction of Fundamental Rights; Vulnerable Groups.
