Abstract: Abstract This chapter, “Post-COVID Statehood,” is the concluding part of the first volume. A study offers the dedicatedly changing role of the statestate and the very phenomenon of statehood during periods of a pandemic in the history of mankind. The author examines the problem of state participation in the fight against pandemics in historical terms. The conclusion is that a strong state and its active role during periods of a pandemic allows quickly cope with the virus and save lives, while liberal states with minimal state participation experience more negative consequences of the pandemic. Quarantine measures are most effective in saving lives of citizens, even when their rights to movement, free assembly, freedom of speech, etc. are violated. The inherently dire conclusion is faced with an even more dire consequences of the pandemic in the form of more deaths.
