In this study, it is aimed to analyze the geographical features of the island countries, which are separate from the mainland, in contact monitoring and isolation with data. The study comprises island countries. Analysis results show that there is a positive, significant correlation between the death/case rate and 65+ population (r= .332) (p <0.05). Regression analysis was used to reveal the effect of 65+ population and the total population on the death/case rate. The analysis results show that the model established for the effect of 65+ population on the death/case rate is statistically significant (F=4.214; p <0.05). It was determined that 65+ population has a positive effect on the death/case rate (β=0.302). In the model, the correlation coefficient of 65+ population to explain the death/case rate is 0.302. The effect of explaining the death/case rate is 9.1%. In terms of the total population, there is no statistical significance. Studies have shown that countries separate from the mainland and use the distinctive feature of their geographical features in contact monitoring and isolation have reduced or stopped the transmission rate of COVID-19 with the measures they have taken.}, number={1}, publisher={Selcuk University}
