During the interviews, healthcare professionals stated that they were caught COVID-19 because of their work and workplace, they were stigmatized due to their illnesses, they lost their health due to COVID-19, and they had concerns that some health problems would not pass. However, they stated that they had a shortage of personal protective equipment at the beginning, they did not receive training on the subject, and the risk of being infected with COVID-19 was high due to the excessive working hours.
