The novel coronavirus, or SARS‐CoV‐2, which caused COVID‐19, emerged in China in December 2019 and by March 2020 had rapidly spread becoming a global pandemic. The pandemic tested nearly every aspect of the public sector including efforts to respond to, recover from, and mitigate its impacts. This Viewpoint explores COVID‐19 impact on US‐based public administration scholars and practitioners. The results of a survey conducted for members of the American Society for Public Administration showed that respondents grappled with issues involving institutional trust, organizational inequity and capacity, group‐based inequity, health measures, shifts in academic practice, and challenges arising from intergovernmentalism. We conclude with recommendations for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
