Throughout history, humanity has been exposed to various epidemics. The Coronavirus (Covid19) epidemic, which emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and spread in a short time deeply affected
the whole world. Coronavirus outbreak first appeared in Turkey, on March 10, 2020. Thanks to the measures
taken, the pandemic spread rate has slowed down considerably. Although the outbreak has various effects, in
this study these effects are generally classified under three headings. The first one is about human security or
human health. Due to the epidemic, a large number of people have caught the virus and some died. As of
June 3, 2020, the number of people who died was over 378,000. The second effect is about the social effects
caused by the outbreak. In the lockdown period, people’s being closed at home, wearing masks and not being
able to socialize due to the threat of viruse created psychological problems especially for those over 65 years
old. The third concerns the economic effects of the virus. Due to the economic crisis that emerged during the
epidemic, economic supply chains were broken on a global scale, the economy of the countries shrank, many
companies went bankrupt and people became unemployed. With the coronavirus epidemic, globalization has
also started to be questioned and it has been observed that international organizations that need to act against
a global problem are inadequate. As a result, states have started to search for national solutions to the
international problem on their own. States are fighting against the epidemic in their capacities by taking
unprecedented measures. This study will evaluate the possible effects of the choranavirus epidemic in the
world. In this study it will be discussed at the effects of the virus to Turkey as well.
