Abstract
The rapidly growing and dynamic global developments of COVID-19 are creating
unprecedented levels of uncertainty on a personal, national, regional and global level.
Human security and the protection of life have become the most important priority at all
these levels. In this regard, governments need to understand the way different threats and
risks intersect. Actually, we all respond to risks and policies in different ways, and we all
have different preferences and make different choices. Understanding these issues is crucial
to effectively managing this COVID-19 pandemic emergency. Still, the dilemma of the
government’s priority for overall security and its effects should be noted. A complete
COVID-19 lockdown will save lives, but it will also have severe consequences, and some
will lose their livelihoods completely. In addition, it is difficult to understand something like
a pandemic that happens very rarely, and when it does, it is different from those that have
happened before. This makes the management of COVID-19 much harder, especially in
relation to how the states and other actors should respond. What prevention and treatment
methods, including controls, should be implemented? This paper analyzes the characteristics
of the risks and threats caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the challenges to
successfully deal with them. The purpose of the analysis is to detect the most serious risks
and threats, especially from a security aspect, and to determine the most acceptable methods
and instruments for their management as well.
