Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented regulatory activity of the public administration, as a number of issues required immediate intervention for the proper and orderly functioning of the state, the society and the economy. The purpose of this essay is to review the way in which public administration acted in order to regulate the emergencies that occurred during the outbreak of the pandemic in the country. In particular, the essay focuses on these regulations concerning the functioning of the Public Sector, the provisions made for the civil servants and the service of the citizens by the public services during the period of the COVID-19 crisis, within the context of public health protection. The first chapter refers to the theoretical framework concerning Public Administration and the way in which it expresses its action, through administrative acts, under the obligation of the common interest, whose service constitutes its actual mission. It also refers to the administrative acts, such as Ministerial Decisions and Circulars, but also to the Acts of Legislative Content, which have been a very important “carrier” for addressing the urgent circumstances that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second chapter refers to the regulations concerning the functioning of the Public Sector and the provisions made for the civil servants, regarding their attendance at work, but also to the regulations concerning the citizens’ service by the public services during the COVID-19 crisis. In addition, there is a reference to the digital services operated at the COVID-19 period through the Single Digital Gateway of Public Administration. In the final section of the essay there are some overall assessments about the extensive regulatory intervention of the public administration, in order to cope with the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis.
