“…The community, therefore, pursues the objectives indicated in the international documents on the fundamental rights of persons. Admittedly, the phrase "right to health" does not appear in these texts -this term would be debatable for many reasons -but other goods directly related to health are mentioned (Galewicz 2014;Tabaszewski 2016). The state's actions, in the field of healthcare directly affecting citizens is twofold.…”

Life and health as fundamental matters are major concerns for every human being. To this end, he / she should be assisted by the community in which they live. If the foundation of social life is the personalistic principle, the recognition of the primacy of the dignity of the person, among other values, is constructed on the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity. It is the role of the healthcare institution to create such conditions, in which the safest and the most effective methods of treatment and prevention are available, and the individual can consciously select which of these realises his or her good to the greatest extent, in accordance with the recognised hierarchy of values, the accepted worldview, and life goals. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between the community and the individual, in the field of healthcare, under normal conditions and during epidemics. The existence of specific threats may suggest that exceptions to the fundamental rules of social life: autonomy, subsidiarity, and social solidarity, are permissible. However, the recognition of the fundamental value of the dignity of the person, requires the community to apply the same rules as in normal times, although many activities of public institutions are intensified in times of more serious danger.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities have imposed various social restrictions on a massive scale. This Viewpoint discusses current issues about the legality of restrictions and current knowledge about how to prevent the spread of Sars-Cov-2. Although vaccines are already available, other basic public health measures are needed to suppress the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and reduce the COVID-19 related mortality: isolation, quarantine, and wearing of face masks. This Viewpoint shows that the emergency measures during a pandemic are important for protecting the public's health, but they may only be legitimate if they are based in law, are in accordance with medical knowledge, and aim to limit the spread of infectious agents. We concentrate on a legal obligation to wear face masks as it became a most recognizable symbol of the pandemic. It was also one of the most criticized obligations and the subject of divergent views.
