It ischaracterized by changing the lives of millions of people around theworld, directly affecting all sectors of the economy and limiting opportunitiesfor paid work. This has raised many questions about bothlabor and social security law. The present study focuses on some employmentand social security rights that arise from COVID-19 disease.On the one hand, the illness may appear as a legal, law changingor terminating legal fact for the employment relationship, and onthe other hand - it represents an social risk, reg ulated by the socialsecurity law. With the occurrence of the disease for a specific person,the social security relationship transforms from latent to activeform, because an social security case arises, which is the reason forthe payment of benefits from the social security funds in the form ofbenefits, allowances or supplements.
