Summary/Abstract: The need to prevent the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic makes it necessary to maintain physical distance to comply with various types of sanitary standards. However, when restrictions imposed by public authorities lead to limiting the exercise of human rights and freedoms, they must be laid down in normative acts of appropriate form and content. Meanwhile, many of the restrictions introduced by the Polish authorities with a view to combatting the pandemic, which restricted the exercise of freedom of religion, did not meet the standards defined by the Polish Constitution.
