The COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly spreading virus outbreak affecting the lives of people globally in terms of health, economy, social and psychological aspects. Governments have taken various measures to protect the functioning of societal life and individual health. To prevent the spread of the virus in society, measures such as lockdown, travel restrictions, ban on gatherings in enclosed spaces, closure of certain businesses, school closures and transition to remote learning were taken. In addition, on an individual level, measures such as wearing masks, practicing personal hygiene and maintaining physical distance were taken. The uncertainty of the situation has weakened people's sense of security. Health concerns, job losses, social isolation, financial turmoil and low morale have increased people's worries about the future. The long-term effects of the pandemic are still not fully understood, but it is known that the sense of security plays a significant role in both the quality and level of life of society and individuals. The sense of security of individuals is important in every aspect of life and the loss of this feeling can negatively impact their economic, physical, emotional, and social health. This study, conducted using a literature review method, aimed to identify the psycho-social and economic problems arising during the pandemic process. The results of the study indicated that the pandemic experienced globally caused serious problems for both individuals and society and that these problems are likely to have impacts in the "new normal" life after the pandemic.
