COVID-19 IN POLAND – STATE OF EMERGENCY OR NORMAL STATE OF EXTRAORDINARY EPIDEMIC?
Abstract
In March 2020, there was a spectacular change in the functioning of public and economic
space, both in Poland and around the world. This was caused by the spread of
the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, this situation, initially perceived as temporary
and having no impact on society and economics, became long-term and led to
a number of revolutionary changes. The issue of choosing the right model of action,
from the beginning, has been controversial of a legal nature, as the use of specific
constitutional state of emergency, in this case a state of natural disaster, depends on
the occurrence of the situation in which overcoming the threat requires the use of
extraordinary measures. In Poland, the finally used was the model of an ordinary
constitutional measure, which resulted in the establishment of the restrictions, orders,
and prohibitions in connection with the introduction of the state of epidemic
threat, and then, the state of epidemic.
