The new Coronavirus is spreading rapidly around the world these days, and many countries are heavily infected with it. Corona is a large family of viruses that cause respiratory infections, from the common cold to the SARS epidemic that broke out in 2003, and now the newest member of the family (SARS-Cov-2) is present in Iran. Like other countries, it is expanding rapidly. Currently, COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most important health issues in Iran and around the World (1-4). The "Corona crisis" has led to various effects in the World, including economic, political, educational, cultural, lifestyle, and so on. But over time, the Corona outbreak appears to have led to an economic shock in the World. According to economists, there are three types of economic shocks caused by the virus; type L economic shock, in which economic growth slows and never improves; type U economic shock, in which economic growth decreases and subsequently improves, but never returns to its previous state; and type V economic shock, in which economic growth gradually decreases, but gradually returns to normal (5-8). It seems, in Iran, due to COVID-19 crisis, the hospitals as a heart of health services providing system were faced with the L type of economic shock.
如今，新型冠状病毒在全球范围内迅速传播，许多国家深受其害。冠状病毒是一类能引起呼吸道感染的病毒，从普通感冒到 2003 年爆发的 SARS 疫情，再到如今家族中的最新成员（SARS-CoV-2）出现在伊朗。和其他国家一样，伊朗的感染人数也在迅速增加。目前，COVID-19 大流行是伊朗乃至全球最重要的健康问题之一（1-4）。“新冠危机”在全球范围内引发了各种影响，包括经济、政治、教育、文化、生活方式等方面。但随着时间的推移，新冠疫情似乎在全球范围内引发了经济冲击。经济学家认为，病毒会导致三种类型的经济冲击；L 型经济冲击，即经济增长放缓且从未改善；U 型经济冲击，即经济增长下降随后改善，但从未恢复到之前的状态；V 型经济冲击，即经济增长逐渐下降，但逐渐恢复正常（5-8）。在伊朗，由于 COVID-19 危机，医院作为卫生服务提供系统的核心，似乎面临着 L 型经济冲击。
