Summary/Abstract: Based on secondary analysis of data from two empirical studies, two questions find their answers: 1. Why was Covid-19 able “to embrace”, enclose and even capsulate the family? and 2. How has Covid-19 caused a change in the functioning of the families? As is becomes clear from the social empiricism, some of the reasons for this "closure" are the imposed anti-epidemic measures, the increasing unemployment, poverty and conflicts in the family. The impacts of Covid-19 are causing a change in the economic, the emotional and the socializing functions of the family.
