The COVID-19 pandemic crisis which is devastating every society, in addition to health intervention, has forced public authorities to intervene without precedent, by establishing exceptional state of emergency distinctive measures. Some of these measures, aimed at preventing transmission of the virus, pose challenges to citizens' fundamental rights.
