The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily affected all industries in all over the World. Although some factories stopped their production activities due to the precautions, the most of privately owned Turkish carpet manufacturers have continued their production continuously. We have arranged several meetings with two credible carpet manufactures to ask for absenteeism rates of blue collar workers. We have collected the data and analyzed it by comparing prepandemic conditions. We have seen that absenteeism rates have significantly changed. We have already seen some of the effects of absenteeism on the production quantities and some other effects are expected to be realized soon.
