Abstract: The paper draws attention to the impact of the context of the COVID-19 pandemic on Romanian economy and social relations. Analyzing the secondary data, the paper presents the impact on the economy and how Romanians were affected by the imposed measures, what daily habits they have changed and how much trust they give to the authorities for managing crisis situations. The paper reflects that almost all Romanians have changed their daily habits and the measures of social distancing are felt by the population as a restriction of the freedoms of individuals. Moreover, the measures had immediate effects on the economy, the companies opted for work of home and the population had changed their buying habits. The paper contributes to a better understanding of the changes in the Romanian economy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
