Gestión de la Crisis de COVID-19 en Pamplona, Colombia, en el periodo de 2020 a Junio de 2022.

Abstract

This paper, in the light of crisis management theory, examines the behaviour of the Covid 19 pandemic and the administration carried out by the government in the city of Pamplona, Colombia, taking as a framework the guidelines of the national government of Colombia, in two tasks by the theory: early recognition and critical decision making (Boin, 2013). For this purpose, a descriptive, correlational and explanatory research was carried out, of a mixed nature, using data from the National and Departmental Health Institute, as well as reviewing some of the binding instruments that gave legal support to government action. Among the results, two stand out. In the first, in the task of early recognition, a somewhat late reaction to the onset of the crisis was found. In the second, in critical decision-making, it was concluded that the decisions were correct in containing the virus, although they affected other economic and social values, probably due to inexperience in dealing with this type of crisis.
