“…The COVID-19 pandemic found most countries unprepared, with little resources, and dismantled everyday life in all its dimensions i.e., health, behavior and economy. [ 5 ] Doctors are now confronted with new ethical difficulties, which may force them to make tough and painful decisions for their patients and themselves due to a scarcity of resources. [ 6 ] If the ethical issues are not considered during hospital planning to attend to such pandemic, then it may lead to loss of public trust, low morale of HCW, and stigmatization of vulnerable community’s etc.…”

Introduction: COVID-19 has spread all over the world and most of the countries are still grappled with the Pandemic . Health-care-workers (HCWs) being the frontlines during such pandemics have different beliefs and faiths with regards to ethical aspects of preparations. Methodology: In order to study the perception of HCW about ethical aspects of COVID-19, a cross-sectional study was done in a tertiary-care-teaching hospital. A pretested questionnaire was circulated among the participants on a digital platform. Results: The HCWs were divided over many statements, like if COVID-19 was more hype than reality (45.77% disagreed and 43.25% agreed). 57.44% of participants either agreed or strongly agreed that the treatment of non-COVID-19 cases suffered due to arrangements made for COVID-19 cases. When the responses received against individual statements were compared with various other socio-demographic variables as a denominator, various interesting results were revealed. There was a significant difference of opinion among the participating HCWs ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Differences of the opinions had their relationships to demographic characteristics of the subjects as well as related to perceived knowledge of COVID-19.
