Pravni ukrepi občin v času razglašene epidemije covida-19 z vidika varnosti v lokalnih skupnostih

Abstract

New virus SARS-CoV-2 (hereinafter COVID-19) has reached the Republic of Slovenia in February 2020. On March 12th, 2020, the state has announced the epidemic. In this context, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia began to adopt different measures to protect the population and stop spreading the virus COVID-19. All local communities had to act according to the government’s decisions. In this contribution, we present an analysis of some cases and praxis in local communities. We have analysed some actions of local authorities (mayors and local councils) in the context of fighting against the spread of the virus COVID-19 among the local population. The analysis also includes an overview of local legal regulations and activities of local security authorities (local-community wardens and local community inspectorates) in the fight against the spreading of the COVID-19 virus. The minority of Slovenian communities have adopted some »special lock-down measures«. The way that these activities were legally processed is shown in the last part of this contribution.
