Summary/Abstract: In the context of the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, the major concern in the public space is to prevent the transmission of the disease and to avoid the spread of the infection among the population. Along with the other mechanisms involved by the state authorities in the fight against the pandemic, criminal law has been involved in amending the crime of thwarting the fight against disease, which protects the social value of public health. The article aims to study the conditions, incidence and effects of the cause justifying the consent of the injured person regarding the criminal liability for this crime.
