Objective: To determine the outcomes and mortality rate of Covid-19 infection among health workers and general population. Material and methods: An observation study was conducted in Department of Pulmonology Pak Red Crescent Medical College & Teaching Hospital,Dina Nath, Kasur, Punjab. Total 210 Covid-19 patients which were divided in two groups equally, group A healthcare workers and group B general population. Outcomes and mortality rate were assessed between both groups using Chi Square and Independent Samples T-test. Results: Mean age in group A was was 41.29±11.37 years while 42.61±16.15 years in group B. ICU admissions was significantly lower in group A 7 (6.7%) while 22 (21.0%) in group B. Mechanical ventilation need was significantly lower 6 (5.7%) in group A than group B 19 (18.1%). Mortality rate was significantly lower in group A than group B 4 (3.8%) vs 15 (14.3%). The mean hospital stay in group A was significantly shorter 9.41±3.333 days than in group B 13.18±3.956 days. Conclusion: From our study we conclude that the mortality rate was higher in the general population as well as the admission to ICU and need for mechanical ventilation as compared to the healthcare workers
