Document: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of lockdown measures implemented due to COVIDâ€19 on aetiology, sociodemographic characteristics, and clinical status of burn cases. This study was carried out retrospectively at the Burn Unit of Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital. The burn cases during the COVIDâ€19 outbreak were compared with those of the previous 2 years. Statistical analyses were carried out using the IBM SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) Statistics 25. Descriptive statistics, independent samples tâ€test, Kolmogorovâ€Smirnov test, and Shapiroâ€Wilk test were used for data evaluation. Results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and P < .05 significance level. It was determined that burn cases were reduced by half during the COVIDâ€19 compared to the previous 2 years. Despite the increase in the number of thirdâ€degree burns and surgeries, it was determined that the length of hospital stay decreased by an average of two thirds. Hot liquids have been identified as the most important cause of burns in all years. New studies should be conducted in order to examine the social dimension of COVIDâ€19 pandemic in burn cases and to prevent these cases completely. The short hospital stay preferred by clinicians after COVIDâ€19 and possible problems that may arise should be investigated.
