Aims: Following the first recorded case of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019, the disease, via human to human transmission, quickly spread around the world and raised global concern, as it was declared a pandemic by WHO. Adoption and control of preventive measures in many countries has not been successful and led to the development and spread of the crisis. In addition to the ministry of health and medical personnel, military and police forces have also taken action to deal with counteracting and handling the crisis caused by the prevalence of COVID-19 in Iran and some other countries. They aided people and the ministry of health in actions such as clearing and disinfecting passages, securing medical centers, protecting sensitive centers and national vaccine or drug depots, enforcing quarantine or travel restrictions, maintaining public order, controlling gatherings, using thermal cameras, and protecting the community in cyberspace.
Conclusion: In the crisis caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, the health and lives of military and law enforcement personnel are at risk as well as home health advocates. So people need to have more empathy and interaction with these treatment personnel and staff to manage the crisis. Now that the most realistic way of dealing with the crisis and limiting the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home and maintain voluntary quarantine, people need to be extremely cooperative.
