Abstract
Mining as a human activity shares the fate of humanity in all global situations that affect the planet. These are, to a lesser extent, positive effects such as the opening of the world market, the industrial revolution, etc., and, to a greater extent, negative effects such as various conflicts or pandemics that have a global character. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on all sectors of human society, justifying a scientific interest in assessing its impact at global and local levels. Recently, the World Health Organization declared the end of the pandemic, after which the Croatian government did the same. This also marks the end of the research period for the preparation of this paper. The paper is about the study of the impact of the pandemic on the Croatian mining sector in Croatia. In addition to statistical data on production and the number of employees in the mining sector, the results of a survey of economic entities and conclusions about the management of companies in crisis situations were processed.
