Expediency of limitation citizens’ rights for the sake of warning of distribution covid - 19 in Ukraine

Abstract

During the second year, the most pressing issue for the entire world community is the fight against the COVID-19 virus. The situation, the precedents of which were unknown to the modern society, has become a litmus test for almost all state mechanisms in the world.As it became clear from the first days of quarantine, no system in the state was ready for such a blow. Public authorities chaotically issued regulations that largely contained prohibitions and restrictions, but did not devise a mechanism for alternative measures that could be proposed to the public as opposed to prohibitions.Restrictions affected both personal non-property rights and certain types of social, political, cultural, economic and so on.In turn, citizens were restricted in the right to peaceful assembly, the right to respect for private life, the right to respect for honor and dignity, the right to freedom of religion, the right to education, the right to access medical care.Entertainment, sports, cultural, religious and other mass events were banned. The operation of shopping and entertainment centers, catering establishments, and other cultural and sports establishments was suspended.The question of the expediency of such prohibitions in some spheres of life of our society and the outright inaction of the state in others increasingly arose among legal scholars. What was the value of the story with our citizens returning from Wuhan and being observed in Sanzhary, under the close attention of the public, which caused great panic among the population, and the crowd of workers who crossed the Ukrainian borders returning from European countries.Another very interesting topic, in our opinion, is the impossibility or unwillingness of government agencies to keep under control the pricing of protection, which at one point rose in price 10 times. Or the lack of any real social guarantees and benefits for forced unemployed citizens.This list can be very long. In this study, we tried to reveal the proportionality of the restriction of personal non-property rights of citizens during quarantine, and whether they were really necessary.
