Abstract

The outbreak of an epidemic or pandemic is always a time of threat, emergency and uncertainty. When people's health and lives are put at risk, urgent and coordinated responses are required from state actors at national, regional and global levels that have the potential to contain the pandemic and prevent its spread. From this emergency situation and from continuous changes in norms that impose new restrictions, obligations and responsibilities on citizens, a dilemma arises about the balance between the protection of the right to health and other economic, social and cultural rights.
