Abstract:

This article discusses how time perception changes during the lockedown caused by COVID-19. The author pays attention to the changes in people`s daily routines due to the pandemic situation, which in turn led to the feeling that time is running at a different speed than life before COVID-19. Data from a study conducted in the UK, by Ruth Ogden, a senior professor of psychology at John Moores University in Liverpool, is exposed on the subject. The meaning of Chronos and Kairos, the Greek gods of time, is interpreted in COVID-19 situation.
