Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve COVID-19 Korku Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular ve Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda banka çalışanlarının cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim durumu gibi sosyo-demografik özelliklerine göre COVID-19 korku düzeylerinde anlamlı farklılık bulunmazken COVID-19 haberlerini takip edenlerin daha fazla korkuya sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. COVID-19 virüsü ile topluma sürekli basın ve medya üzerinden bilinçli farkındalık oluşturmaya yönelik korku ve kaygı ile baş etme konusunda yardımcı olmak üzere psikolojik temelli stres azaltmaya yönelik programlar yapılması ülke geneline mülki idare amirleri, yerel yönetimler birlikte hareket ederek toplumda oluşabilecek kaygı stres ve korkuyu en az seviyelere getirmeye çalışılmalıdır.
