Abstract
New Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) was identified on January 13, 2020, as a result of first researches conducted in patients who developed similar respiratory symptoms in Wuhan Province, China at the end of December 2019. Although the hospitals function mainly on treatment in the epidemic, which is spreading in our country as in the rest of the world, screening and preventive measures have to gain momentum during the epidemic process, especially for the staff. For this reason, sharing the occupational health and safety policies carried out in hospitals, will contribute the upcoming period. The aim of this article is to report the efforts to protect the health of both hospital staff and patients during the Covid-19 pandemic in a tertiary hospital. We think that this will set an example for different pandemic processes that may be experienced.

Abstract
Yeni Corona Virüsü Hastalığı (COVID-19), Aralık 2019'un sonunda Çin'in Wuhan Eyaletinde benzer solunum semptomları geliştiren hastalarda yapılan ilk araştırmalar sonucunda 13 Ocak 2020'de tanımlandı.Türkiye'de 10 Mart 2020 tarihinde ilk vakaya tanı konulmasıyla tüm çalışanların koordinasyon içinde hareket etmesi ve görev ve sorumluluklarının tanımlanması amacıyla 'COVID-19 Eylem Planı' hazırlanmıştır. Her ne kadar hastaneler esas olarak salgın hastalığın tedavisi üzerine işlev görseler de özellikle personel için tarama ve önleyici tedbirler salgın sürecinde hız kazanmalıdır. Bu nedenle hastanelerde yürütülen iş sağlığı ve güvenliği politikalarının paylaşılması önümüzdeki döneme katkıda bulunacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, üçüncü basamak bir hastanede Covid-19 salgını sırasında hem hastane personelinin hem de hastaların sağlığını koruma çabalarını rapor etmekti. Bunun gelecekte yaşanabilecek farklı pandemik süreçlere örnek olacağını düşünüyoruz
