Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to analysis of Constitution provisions included in art. 68 para. 4 of the Constitution forcing public authorities to eliminate epidemic diseases, which requires public bodies to protect citizens against health- and life-threatening actions. The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 virus and consequent outbreak of pandemic caused this article to acquire a completely new significance, being a state problem. Epidemic threat or pandemic covered the area of more than one province, as a result of which the health minister, public administration minister and Chief Sanitary Inspector were also assigned to this task. These bodies had to reach compromises between health protection and state independence.
