The purpose of this study is to analyze domestic ethical issues and discussions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide basic data for improving various policies and systems to solve ethical issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 28 documents included in this study are domestic literature conducted or published in 2020 and 2021, immediately after the outbreak of COVID-19, and domestic academic papers or thesis papers including 'Corona OR Covid OR corona' and 'Ethics OR morality' were searched throughout the paper. According to the literature analysis, a total of six topics were found: ethics theory needed in the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens' rights, research ethics such as COVID-19 vaccine development, COVID-19 ethical behavior and experience research, medical resources and vaccine distribution in the COVID-19 pandemic. Since numerous ethical issues are involved in newly created policies and institutions in the process of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been shown that these ethical discussions are essential to create policies and institutions in reality, not stay at the theoretical level.
