Sammanfattning: The coronavirus was first detected in late 2019 in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly around the world. In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a pandemic. This study examines the impact between the COVID-19 pandemic and Swedish citizens' trust in the state and government agencies. As a consequence of the corona pandemic, drastic measures were taken in order to reduce the spread of infection and this study aims to investigate how the swedish Public Health Agency's actions, that relies on personal responsibility, social distancing and recommendations instead of restrictions, has affected the Swedish public's trust in government bodies. The study has an international perspective, but the international perspective is mainly used to investigate whether Sweden's tendencies are something that can be generalized. This study will use a literature review consisting of 6 reports that will then be coded for a result. This is complemented by an analysis study that has been used to see if there are connections or find perspectives that can be generalized around the chosen essay topic.
