Summary/Abstract: The paper intends to present the evolution of pandemy of Covid-19 during the year 2022 and its effects upon Romanian society in overall as presented by the Romanian newspaper “România liberă”. The online archives of the newspaper “România liberă” present the context of the pandemy’s evolution in Romania during the years 2020- 2022 with an accent on the year 2022, period which we researched further for the present article. The issue of vaccination, the outburst of different varriants of the virus Covid 19, the public isolation and endemic fear generated by the means of mass media campaign which also helped and raised the citizens’ awarenress regarding the emergence of this virus, were a few coordinates of evolution of public life in the pandemic context. The restrictions imposed to the population including also the international travelling were bypassed by the fact that most people of Romania took the vaccine and, in this case, the resistance in front of new varriants of the virus was much more higher. It was a kind of hybrid war that we won and seemed to reach an end, but the battle was in fact to be stronger than before as individuals in front of emergent challenges. The article intends to present the internal and external context of the evolution of pandemy, with a focus on Romania’s evolution towards the end of the pandemy.
