State tasks related to the outbreak of communicable disease

Abstract

For years, infectious diseases have been a significant social problem and thus a challenge for health care systems and state authorities. Outbreaks of these diseases in particular can lead to global health, social and economic crises. The nature of the threat, including the experiences resulting from the COVID-19 epidemic, justify the question of the tasks assigned to the state and its authorities in this area, both in the context of the adopted national and international regulations. The implementation of the right to health protection and the introduction of mechanisms allowing for the implementation of guarantees in the field of health safety are undoubtedly the two main goals-tasks decoded from the basic law. However, a fully effective model of counteracting infectious disease epidemics must be based on full international cooperation.
