Abstract

The first half of 2020 has entered the history of humanity as a time of change, uncertainty, risk and fears about health and the economic situation. The aim of this paper is to show the broadest possible spectrum of consequences of COVID-19 pandemic from economic and psychological points of view. Today, it is difficult to assess what the long-term consequences of a pandemic will be, but we have highlighted, in our opinion, the most important consequences in the social, economic, and psychological spheres. A review of scientific and popular literature as well as media reports was used to analyse the problem.
