Keywords: COVID-19; an epidemic; the Act of December 5, 2008 on the prevention and combating of infections and infectious human diseases
Summary/Abstract: The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, and its subsequent spread throughout the world, including Poland, revealed that many countries are not prepared for such negative occurrence. Deficiencies and shortcomings could be observed in practically every sphere of the stateʼs functioning, which also applied to our country. Deficits were also observed in the scope of the applicable legal regulations, which underwent a certain petrification and did not sufficiently take into account the possibility of a new infectious disease, such as COVID-19.This text presents considerations on the Act of 5 December 2008 on the prevention and combating of infections and infectious human diseases in the context of COVID-19. The purpose of those deliberations was to present the latest changes to the above-mentioned act and to assess their validity.
