Abstract

The various crises that occur over the years in the world leave marks and negative effects on society. In 2020, it was no different with the emergence of COVID-19, which spread throughout the world. The study aimed to verify the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on families in the western region of Paraná (Brazil) on economic, social, health, family relationships, education and technology aspects. As a methodological design, the research is classified as quantitative, using a survey questionnaire to survey the data, applied online by google forms and the data analysis was descriptive. As a result, it is highlighted that crises generate sequelae, be they financial, emotional or social. It is concluded that the pandemic generated  by COVID-19  had negative  effects in  all  the analyzed  indicators, and  that technology was the key so that people could continue to work, to study, even in social isolation.
