The Xenophobia Risk of Covid-19 Pandemics and Ethical Treatment Recommendations

Abstract

The viral epidemic disease COVID-19, which started in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province of China, rapidly spread around the world and turned into a pandemic and resulted in changing the course of the history of pandemics. It turns out that the world is still not ready for such major health problems. Having the health care and social services, which have been inadequate due to the high number of the infected cases (also related to the population growth in the world) and the fatal effect of the disease naturally suggests that there is a new and a questionable world order in the processes of this disease.
Societies' attitude towards diseases affects the future of social life. Diseases can cause mass chaos due to fear and panic. As a result, xenophobia turns into a kind of social reflex and it is possible that this will turn into a kind of hypocnodriac. In this letter to the editor, we wanted to highlight the importance of ethical treatment to combat a problem that is the result of such fear due to COVID 19.
