in addition to the coronavirus cases and deaths in the pandemic process using empirical
methods. Additionally, the number of cases and death rates during the pandemic are analyzed
graphically by country. In the empirical application section, the Toda-Yamamoto (1995) test
was applied. Before moving on to the causality analysis, the extended Dickey-Fuller test was
used to determine whether the series possessed a unit root. In the present study, which covers
the period between 16.03.2020 and 14.12.2020, the case and death data of countries were

significant value was determined between the stock market index series of sports clubs and
the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. No short-term relationship was found between the
stock market indexes of sports clubs and the number of cases and deaths.
