The article presents information how the communicative process has changed within social work in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic: the transition to remote communication, the emergence of new «pandemic» functions in the activities of specialists, the emergence of new and exacerbation of old social problems. Statistics are provided on social workers who work in an enhanced mode during the quarantine period for the provision of social services (material, psychological, legal aid) to clients. These are especially client groups such as the elderly, war and labor veterans, people with special needs, children and other vulnerable groups. The authors draw attention to the fact that under conditions of quarantine restrictions, some traditional sources of communication have lost their effectiveness and relevance, however, the need for information has increased significantly.
