OBLIGATION TO WEAR A MASK IN OPEN SPACES. A VIOLATION OF A PERSON'S RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS?

Summary/Abstract: Since ancient times, humanity has faced various threats and risks on the population, respectively on health, economy, but also on the manifestation and social change of citizens in a community, the latter being forced to obey certain rules and restrictions they had to abide by. The coronavirus pandemic has hit the 21st century hard, with the medical and state systems also unprepared for the humanitarian crisis.With the outbreak of this deadly virus, the wearing of a mask in both closed and open spaces was imposed as an obligation, which is why certain rights and freedoms of citizens were violated. These restrictions were imposed both in Romania and in the states of Europe, depending on the scenario in which they were, respectively the severity of the evolution of the virus. Wearing an outdoor protective mask has become an obligation imposed by several European countries, including Romania. The question arises as to whether its conduct restricts in any way the rights and freedoms of the citizen and how it is demonstrated or what this fact is based on from a legal point of view.
