The SARS-CoV-2 virus epidemic causing Covid-19 is a phenomenon that strikes at social relations, economic stability and the possibility of realising fundamental human rights. Due to the scale of the threat to citizens’ security and out of concern for the stability of the state’s economic system, it has become necessary to introduce legal regulations to counteract the effects of Covid-19 effectively. This paper seeks to answer an important constitutional question. It concerns the issue of assessing the compatibility of measures introduced by public authorities in Poland to prevent, counteract and combat Covid-19 with the standards adopted in the Constitution.
