Abstract

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that can infect animals, plants, bacteria and many more microorganisms. Viruses are spread by aphids and insects in plants, and by bloodsuck-ing insects in animals. In humans, they can cause flu by spreading through respiratory, hu-man-to-human contact, water and food. Some viruses, however rare, infect humans from an-imals. Coronavirus is one of the viruses transmitted from animals to humans. The new type of coronavirus (Covid-19), which is on the world agenda, is similar to seasonal flu, previously unidentified and contagious virus in humans. In this study, new types of coronavirus and its effects were investigated and studies related to coronavirus conducted worldwide were ana-lyzed. As the treatment process in the world continues, every country has started to take its measures. The measures taken by countries, especially Turkey, have been identified. It is aimed to calculate the importance and priority values of the measures with the Analytic Network Process and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process methods, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. As a result of the values obtained, it is planned to prioritize the measures taken while struggling coronavirus and contribute to the struggle against coronavi-rus by giving emphasis to the priority measures.
