| Description | The chapter in the monograph addressing public interest as legal concept focuses on public health. Public health, however, is also a specific discipline combining medicine, sanitation, management, information technologies and administration. It briefly mentions 2012 methanole poisonings in Czechia and compulsory vaccination. Nevertheless, the Covid-19 pandemic is an event, which exposed public health in an unexpected form and intensity. Countries worldwide adopted and implemented unprecedented measures and restrictions. The chapter tries to distill principles, conflicting public interests and individuals rights and freedoms, refraining from describing measures we all have experience since the outbreak. |
