Современные проблемы правового регулирования смягчения угроз для населения и бизнеса последствий пандемии короновируса COVID-19

Abstract

The problem of studying the problems of improving legal mechanisms for protecting public health and supporting business in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is very relevant. The pandemic has raised questions for several governments not only about the effectiveness of the health system, but also about the performance of the entire public administration system. Some aspects of possible legislation reform in the field of public protection and business support in emergency situations caused by the spread of dangerous infectious diseases are investigated. The article summarizes and analyzes the main provisions of the documents regulating the introduction of restrictive measures for the population during the coronavirus pandemic. It is shown that in the conditions of a pandemic, the population and small and medium-sized businesses could expect to be compensated for part of the damage on the basis of the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1928 of December 28, 2019 on the rules of transfer in emergency situations. The authors believe that in reality, when an emergency situation was introduced in Russia, the victims could be automatically provided with minimal payments and transfers. The authors of the article showed that the pandemic has increased society's dependence on digital technologies. The authors reviewed the experience of France, where the government has taken several large-scale and immediate support measures to help overcome the difficulties for small and medium-sized businesses that are most affected by the pandemic. The article is aimed at developing legal mechanisms to mitigate the threat to the population and business consequences of possible global disasters.
