The Problem of Restrictions when Taking into Account the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has radically changed the way people comprehend the concept of ,,fundamental right”. Without previously planning on this, we have been witnesses to an apparent ,,violation” of some rights we do not only consider to be natural, but also mandatory for any democratic society. Being worried about the effects it might have on health, state institutions have taken the decision to restrict certain liberties, be it totally, or partially. Moreover, people have had their right to circulate limited, while others could not benefit from medical services, due to the overload that has affected sanitary institutions. Given this point of view, it is mandatory to analyze the legal boundaries that have to be taken into consideration, when talking about these decisions, so that legal matters be respected, even though, there have been some limitations put in place at the moment.
