Summary/Abstract: The article is concerned with the regulation of extraordinary measures in the Polish Constitution of April 2, 1997, in the context of the political practice that we are dealing with since March 2020 in Poland. The author indicates that the actual model of the epidemic state in Poland shows all features of a constitutional state of emergency. In particular, the epidemic state law limits various constitutional rights and introduces a number of differences in the functioning of public administration. The author argues that this state eludes constitutional provisions to the point of being in contradiction with them.
