Abstract
This article aims to make some reflections, based on a sociological approach, about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the functioning of social systems and subsystems. To this end, we draw on the theoretical-epistemological assumptions of the theory of society developed by the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, the main representative of systemic thinking in the Social Sciences. We argue that the new coronavirus pandemic causes a systemic disturbance that has a profound impact on the functioning of the entire global society, as well as on its social systems and subsystems, imposing a series of challenges on the reproduction of social life.
