Society and the state in the pandemic context

Abstract

The coronavirus infection pandemic affected all spheres of human existence, making it impossible to implement traditional regulation of socially significant, political and legal issues. Based on the importance of an unprecedented new reality, the authors were tasked with studying and analyzing the problems of interaction between the State and society in the context of the pandemic and the introduction of state measures to prevent the spread of viral infection, which to a degree or another limit the rights and freedoms of a person and citizen. The research emphasis was placed on highlighting the main problems related to special regulation by the state of socially significant issues in the pandemic. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that the development of electronic democracy may contribute to not weaken the State's position as guarantor of human and civil rights and freedoms
