Özet:

The Covid-19 pandemic is a major health crisis that has affected the entire world for a year. This crisis, with its social, political, economic and psychological impacts very severe, has left almost all countries disappointed, from the most developed countries to the most undeveloped. The study discussed the fight against the pandemic in the context of crisis management in the five countries most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic (China, the United States, Turkey, Germany, Italy). In the study aimed at determining how the approach they adopted reflects the crisis management process, the current data and resources were scaned by the literary scan method, and the study was conducted to the way these countries adopted a crisis management approach and the approach adopted would lead them to success. The study found that in countries that have understood the severity of the pandemic from the date of its appearance and have taken early action therefore, the rates of cases and deaths are lower than in other countries, but in countries that do not understand the severity of the pandemic or cannot predict the coming crisis, the rates of cases and deaths are higher. As a result, it has been found that countries trying to prevent the crisis with a proactive approach better manage the pandemic crisis, while countries that prefer the reactive crisis management approach in this process are facing greater crises at the point of dealing with the pandemic.
