Koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) Mart 2020 itibarıyla dünyada 2.250.000’den fazla insanı etkilemiş ve 160.000’den fazla ölüme yol açmıştır. Üç ay içinde olgu sayısındaki istikrarlı ve hızlı artış COVID-19’un tüm dünyayı tehdit eden bir pandemiye dönüştüğünü anlatıyor. Halkın farkındalığının artırılarak sağlık kuruluşlarına bilinçli başvuruların yapılması, sağlık çalışanlarının da erken aşamadan başlayarak şüphelenmesi, tanı aşamalarında eksiklik yaşanmaması toplum sağlığı için önem taşımaktadır. Saptanan yüksek şüpheli veya tanılı olguların derhal izole edilmesi, gerektiğinde karantina uygulanması kilit önem taşır. Bu yazımızda pandeminin epidemiyolojik özellikleri, sosyodemografik faktörlerle ilişkisi özetlenmeye çalışılmıştır.
