Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate SARS-CoV-2 cases based on clinical evidence from the perspective of public health. Materials and Methods: The data of 354 people were analyzed which were among the patients admitted to the pandemic hospital in Adiyaman in the study. Results: 70.6% of those admitted to the hospital with suspected COVID-19, 60% of those received inpatient treatment and 61.2% of those who were PCR-positive were male. The median age of those admitted to the hospital was 37 years. 90% were in a good general condition. The median length of hospitalization was 7 days. 14.8% PCR-positive patients required mechanical ventilation. Generally, D-dimer, CRP and WBC levels were poor, which were higher in those receiving intensive care (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, the disease seems to be more common among men. CT abnormalities are common. D-Dimer, CRP and WBC levels are associated with severe disease.
