Summary/Abstract: This article provides an overview and shows new dimensions of individual and social uncertainty, the existence of which was empirically confirmed in the first year of the pandemic, or in other words during a period of particular intensification of fears and anxieties. The first part of the article reviews various approaches to the state of uncertainty from sociological, psychological and social policy perspectives. In the second section, selected uncertainty indicators are presented, confirming the thesis that the COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in fears and concerns in several dimensions at the same time. The findings of sociological research on selected social categories and the results of surveys conducted by CBOS (the Public Opinion Research Center) were used for this.
