Abstract

Social transformations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic”: this is the subject of this study, a subject that continues to raise debates and reflections in all corners of the world; because the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected human societies in their most different sectors, but has brought opportunities to build new bonds - bonds that renew the sense of an existence that is no longer possible as in the more recent past. The objective of this study is, therefore, to map the transformations brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in Mozambique in the fields of education, transport, health, economics and in the social sector; showing, in the final analysis, that the lived emergency leads man to confront the essential of existence and with what, although not necessarily negative, he can put aside. To ensure this elaboration, the method of reviewing the literature on the subject under study was followed, which has a rich scientific production around the world. As for the conclusion, this study points out that our habits of life in different fields need to be rethought to promote the resumption of activities in the post-COVID-19 period. To this end, complex challenges must be faced, including that of the reorganization of education, transport, health, economics and social sector with short-term interventions, but also of a more structural nature.
