This study sought to determine the impact of national culture dimensions: power distance, collectivism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and time orientation according to the Hofstede model, on the management and control of Covid-19 in the three stages: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in a sample of Jordanian hospitals. This study was also concerned with studying the impact of the religious dimension as a mediating variable on the causal relationship between national culture and the prevention and control of Covid-19. The sample consisted of a group of government and private hospitals. The sample size was 220 respondents, who were distributed among these hospitals. The results of the study confirmed that three dimensions (power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and time orientation) had a statistically significant effect on the three stages of Covid-19, while the collectivism had no statistically significant effect on covid-19 prevention and diagnostics. Masculinity also had no significant effect on Covid-19 treatment.
