ABSTRACT
The article is devoted to revealing the peculiarities of the perception of the pandemic in Ukraine, the causes and exacerbation of social problems in this regard. In order to identify the causal links between them in the spheres of human activity in society, the role and place in solving this problem of public associations, including academic formations, has been determined. Four main scenarios for the spread of coronavirus in different regions of the world are mentioned. Observations of the disease development are given. Measures to prevent the spread of the virus have been proposed. Data on the first outbreaks of coronavirus in the world are given. The lack of state control and accountability mechanisms is noted. The role of the pandemic, which has led to serious global socio-economic consequences, the postponement or cancellation of sporting, religious and cultural events and the spread of fears of shortages in the supply of various goods and products, which in some regions caused panic shopping is outlined. Emphasis is placed on the problem that arises when creating specialized medical institutions that successfully take root and operate on a European basis. It is noted that acute social problems, including a pandemic, are the basis of political instability and unrest in the state;insufficient anti-pandemic living conditions make it impossible to implement preventive measures, full vaccination of citizens, strengthening democratic governance and civil society institutions. On the example of the Academy of Economic Sciences of Ukraine of the National Academy of Science of Higher Education of Ukraine and the Academy of Social Management, a strategy for solving this humanitarian problem in the future is proposed. The main directions of solving pandemic problems in Ukraine in the near future are outlined.
