Summary/Abstract: Recently, the society faced a series of special events, due to the risk situation caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the international level, which forced the countries of the world to take special measures. At national level, this context was reflected in some exceptional measures in the institutions, namely the decree of the state of emergency, on the entire territory of the country and the restriction of some fundamental rights, for the first time in post-December Romania. Beyond the impact of the moral, economic or legal consequences, which it had on the community of institutions of these extremely drastic measures, the society had to face, not only with new social orders, but also some unclear situations, which aroused countless controversies over the meaning and application of legal rules, the interpretation of which raises even more questions and endless controversy. Therefore, we considered that a retrospective look at the basis of the measures implemented and the practical way in which they are applied is self-imposed.
