The authors focus their attention on the current regime of self-isolation, which arose in the context of the spread of a new coronavirus infection. Currently, the Russian population is forced to change their social behavior adapting to the conditions dictated by the pandemic. Within this article, based on secondary data analysis, the authors consider the transformational contradictions of social behavior, highlighting the aspect of virtuality. On the part of social institutions there are new organizational and management strategies that are implemented through social distancing of citizens and wearing masks in public places, as well as the self-isolation of the population, the transition of professional activity to the remote mode. The reaction of the population is expressed in such social practices as distrust of social institutions represented by the state and the media, denial of the coronavirus, non-compliance with the self-isolation regime, fear of the economic crisis, the transition of labor activity to a remote mode, a change in the approach to consumption and its structure.
