GOVERNMENT ACTIVISM DURING A PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic can be described in modern history as a milestone in social development. It evokes strong emotions, fear, helplessness and a desire to survive. It changes our priorities, attitudes and behavior. It recalls the essence of the existence of the individual, society and the State. It shows what its citizens mean to the State and what their State means to the citizens. It helps identify the most vulnerable and strong points of all involved. The author of the article will try to summarize the situation and point out the State and its steps in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. For this purpose, the author decided to use available online resources from domestic and foreign environments. He processed the obtained data mainly through the use of analysis, deduction and statistical recalculations. Based on the results and monitoring of the situation, it outlined possible solutions and recommendations leading to the alleviation of the undesirable situation
