was first seen in China in December 2019. Covid-19 turned into a pandemic in a very short time. Thanks to the strong precautions taken, it appeared in our country at a very late date according to our geographical location. With the announcement of the pandemic of the World Health Organization, administrative and medical evaluations were carried out at the Dokuz Eylül University Health Campus, guided by the algorithms developed by the Ministry of Health. And the process continued with these principles. In the study, the evaluation processes and socio-demographic characteristics of patients admitted to the Dokuz Eylül University Pandemic Outpatient Clinic were examined. In the long term, predictions about whether mass isolation is sustainable and how the normalization process should be continued are also included. For this purpose, the demographic characteristics of the patients who were followed up in the DEU Research and Application Hospital with the diagnosis of Covid-19 during the period of 18.03.2020-24.04.2020 were taken into consideration. The Covid-19 pandemic process we are experiencing reveals that one of the basic needs of a society is health services. In addition, the exact rate of Covid-19 cases contacting other Covid-19 cases is high. Therefore, it is very important to provide social isolation to control the spread of the pandemic. However, taking necessary measures in the public and private sectors and moving to a controlled normalization process is of great importance.
Covid-19 disease, first detected in China in 2019, spread rapidly in a short time and was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Turkey has begun to take quite an early stage of the pandemic-related measures in this process. Before the World Health Organization declared a pandemic, an operations center has been established within the Ministry of Health to combat Covid-19 on 10 January 2020. And at the same time, working in different areas at different universities in Turkey has created a Science Committee composed of successful scientists. Then, in Turkey as well as all over the world in all areas of life, social isolation period has begun. After the Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca announced on May 6, 2020 that the first period regarding the pandemic was completed, the normalization process started in our country on June 1, 2020 within the pre-determined schedule. In this study, the evaluation processes of the patients who applied to the Dokuz Eylül University pandemic outpatient clinic between 18.03.2020-15.11.2020, depending on the diagnostic criteria, and the related socio-demographic characteristics were examined in terms of the normalization process. In addition, social and economic comparative evaluation of the normalization process that followed the collective isolation under Covid-19 measures was included.
