Abstract

The study analyses the evolution of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic during the States of Emergency and Alert in Romania between March 16, 2020, and March 8, 2022, and the impact of the measures taken by the authorities on the population, as well as on the socio-economic, education and healthcare systems. The main demographic impact is related to the mortality rate, which was high among the population over 60 years of age, increasing the pressure on the healthcare system. The socio-economic impact triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic had medium and long-term effects: the loss of jobs, the economic crisis, a high unemployment rate, a limited access of the population to medical services, which has led to an economic decline in the field of transport, as well as school closures and switching to online courses for longer periods of time, while companies switched to remote working and made investments in the digitization of services.
