Summary/Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted the adoption of legislation to complement medical and common law. The realities of health care facilities and medical liability issues interfere, so the need arises to define the legal framework for each working hypothesis. In relation to the particularities generated by Covid-19 (procedures, treatment, medical emergencies), the analysis concerns the obligations of medical professionals, the issue of the current level of scientific knowledge and civil liability for malpractice. The situations of exoneration from liability are studied in the context of common law and legislation adopted during the pandemic.
