Peoples’ Social Behaviour during COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The paper tackles the following issues: peoples’ social behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic and public attitude towards restrictions caused by it. The authors describe individual reactions to the pandemic and classify social attitudes towards the pandemic situation, which constitutes the scientific originality of the study. The conducted research allows drawing the following conclusions: people manifest contradictory attitudes towards the COVID 19 pandemic and the COVID 19 vaccines - on the one hand, fear and scepticism, and, on the other hand, unreasonable hope that everything will settle down. The article reveals the key role of the mass media and social networks in struggle against the pandemic. The authors argue that coping with the coronavirus pandemic requires international solidarity and cooperation.
