The Covid-19 pandemic has deeply affected lives all over the world and disrupted the routines of daily life. Keeping up with changing routines has been more challenging for some occupational groups. Being both a woman and a healthcare worker has made female healthcare workers one of the intersectional disadvantaged groups of the Covid-19 pandemic. In this study, it is aimed to understand and make sense of how the daily lives of female health workers continue during the Covid-19 pandemic with a sociological perspective. In the study, which is based on the phenomenological design, which is one of the qualitative research designs, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 maternal health workers through a semi-structured interview form using the snowball sampling technique. The descriptive analysis method was used in the evaluation of the data. In the findings obtained; During the Covid-19 pandemic, female healthcare professionals have difficulties in adapting to the new normal of home and work and the fact that they have to be at work while everyone else has to 'stay at home' has brought 'dark clouds' to homes. While continuing the struggle, they had different socio-psychological experiences under the weight of the risk of carrying the virus to their loved ones.
