Transport, which is considered the most important part of the logistics chain, has experienced many changes in recent years. During the global pandemic, the transport of various goods in many countries was severely restricted or entirely blocked. The restrictions were most noticeable in the areas most affected by the coronavirus especially. The management and organisation of each mode of transport required the implementation of new measures. The medical transport industry was of particular importance, as the demand for which has increased significantly. The research was conducted in companies involved in the 45 transportation of medical products. The undertaken research topic is particularly important in the current market situation, which is characterized by high instability in many economic areas. Especially transport, which has always been characterized by the possibility of unexpected circumstances caused by, for example, unfavorable weather conditions, had to adapt to the new standards and difficulties introduced today. Therefore, the comparison of changes taking place especially in this field of transport is, according to the author of the article, very important in terms of research and development. This article may be the basis for other further research. The main objective of the study is to analyse the changes occurring in the management of logistic processes such as shipping and transport in times of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. This article presents the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on international long-distance transport. The number of long-distance transports over the past 20 years has been studied. All modes of transport have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic situation, which has introduced huge changes and restrictions to all modes of transport. The transport situation during the global crisis caused by the pandemic was also analyzed on the basis of the pharmaceutical industry, which played a significant role during the pandemic. This article presents the aspect of long-distance transportation of medical products in times of the global pandemic. Transport is the most important element in the area of logistics, which should now be studied and analyzed for scientific purposes assessing the impact of a pandemic on the economy. Never before in the modern world have such far-reaching threats to the health and life of citizens arise, which have spread all over the world in such a short time. The pandemic is considered to be something special that cannot be dealt with by any country around the world, and therefore, according to the author, it is an element of social novelty that must be analyzed in a scientific article. The situation in domestic and international markets is now something worthy of study and analysis to avoid mistakes in the future. (original abstract)

Transport, który jest uważany za najważniejszą część łańcucha logistycznego, przeszedł w ostatnich latach wiele zmian. Podczas globalnej pandemii transport różnych towarów w wielu krajach był poważnie ograniczony lub został całkowicie zablokowany. Ograniczenia były najbardziej widoczne w obszarach najbardziej dotkniętych koronawirusem. Zarządzanie i organizacja każdego rodzaju transporu wymagały wdrożenia nowych działań. Szczególne znaczenie miała branża transportu medycznego, na którą zapotrzebownie znacznie wzrosło. Badania przeprowadzono w 45 firmach zajmujących się transportem wyrobów medycznych. Podjęta tematyka badawcza jest szczególnie istotna w obecnej sytuacji rynkowej, która charakteryzuje się dużą niestabilnością w wielu obszarach gospodarczych. Zwłaszcza transport, który zawsze charakteryzował się możliwością wystąpienia nieprzewidzianych okoliczności spowodowanych np. niekorzystnymi warunkami atmosferycznymi, musiał dostosować się do nowych standardów obecnych trudności. Dlatego przedstawienie zmian zachodzących zwłaszcza w tej dziedzinie zarządzania transportem jest, zdaniem autorki artykułu, bardzo ważne z punktu widzenia badań i rozwoju. Artykuł ten może być podstawą do dalszych badań. Głównym celem opracowania jest analiza zmian zachodzących w zarządzaniu procesami logistycznymi, takimi jak spedycja i transport w czasach rozprzestrzeniania się koronawirusa. W artykule przedstawiono aspekt transportu wyrobów medycznych na duże odległości w dobie globalnej pandemii. Transport jest najważniejszym elementem w obszarze logistyki, który powinen być obecnie badany i analizowany do celów naukowych oceniających wpływ pandemii na gospodarkę. Zdaniem autorki jest to element społecznej nowości, którą należało poddać analizie w niniejszym artykule. (abstrakt oryginalny)
