Abstract

The new coronavirus pandemic brought some difficulties and challenges never seen before in the modern history of our country. The extreme difficulties faced by our population, and the huge demand in public services, especially in the area of health and in the direct fight against contagion and the treatment of patients, but also in other public contracts, to the country does not stop completely and ensure continuity in the provision of public services and works in progress. Such an effort demanded the addition of laws, which would create legal possibilities that made the rules related to public contracts and government procurement more flexible, to better adapt for the exceptional and unpredictable emergency situation our country faces. The present study therefore sought to list the main changes and flexibilities brought about the rules enacted to deal with the pandemic, analyzing them in accordance with the principles of Administrative Law and listing the possible future consequences of their unrestricted use and without proper reasoning, as appropriate security measures must be applied for the management of risk for the public aerarium. For this research, a deductive approach method is used, with a comparative and systematic procedure, according to a bibliographic research technique.
