Summary
COVID-19
changed people's lives and institutions, creating different impacts such as the
death of family and friends, job losses, business failure, development of
mental illness, limitation of health services, price increases, and various
negative individual and organizational effects.
There
are various reports, but these need to be updated as the situation constantly
changes. The anxiety generated at the pandemic's beginning differs from the
anxiety that may generate the need to be vaccinated. It is also required to
know how depression has evolved in people since this can cause public health
problems on a large scale and at the same time affect families and companies.
Other aspects much less explored are knowing the change that people have had

to know the change in the mental constructs of consumers that may have changed
or extended the purchase intention to various health products.
The
special issue is focused in publish articles describing different approaches
around the impact and expectations of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be
described outcomes and descriptions in citizens and firms.
