Considering that since 2009 draft normative acts have been submitted to the Romanian Parliament, for regulating the insolvency of the natural person, the adoption of the law into 2015 and the entry into force in 2018 represents an indisputable progress but also an entry into normality in the context that all EU member states already had legislation in this area. Three years after the entry into force of the insolvency of the natural law, we can say that the results anticipated by the legislator are far from the reality. The year 2020 characterised by the devastating effects of COVID 19, affected both individuals and legal entities. If the impossibility of overcoming difficult situations by legal entities leads to their deregistration, as far as natural persons are concerned, their disappearance due to the difficulties cannot be taken into account, they must continue their existence with overcoming the situation. Accessing the insolvency procedure of the natural persons is the solution that can be accessed by those in financial difficulty. Keywords: insolvency; natural person; COVID 19.
