Various approaches are being developed to manage the short , medium and long term effects of the Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID 19). However, there is not enough information about how the health of people who have been exposed to the virus will be affected, especially in the long term. Therefore, it has been decided by the Turkish Ministry of Health to establish COVID 19 Follow up Centers in order to detect possible complications that may develop in patients who have recovered from COVID 19 in the early period and to make necessary interventions in a timely manner. In these centers, it is aimed to reveal the short, medium and long term side effects of the disease by systematically and regularly monitoring the patients diagnosed with COVID 19, regardless of whether they have any complaints. In this study, the establishment process of the COVID 19 Follow up Centers, the patient follow up process has been evaluated. This study is expected to make contribution to the future policies to be implemented in future pandemics.
