Summary/Abstract: Our aim with this paper was to describe the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19 and the liability issue of employees and employers. The research was conducted in Győr-Moson-Sopron County in Hungary, and the results were examined within the framework of quantitative research. We investigated the values experienced by the economic operators. The behavior of the employees was also evaluated from a psychological point of view. During the crisis, health protection and hygiene have become of particular importance. We found that governments and health authorities are usually questioned when examining liability, but employers and employees can also significantly prevent infections and save lives. We discussed in our study the former and current attitudes of the organizations towards ensuring general, food and sanitary hygiene, as well as behavior patterns of the employees. We believe that the findings and lessons of this article are well applicable and can be used in both present and post-pandemic situations.
