Covid-19’un Yeni Normalinde Toplumsal Sözleşme ve Özgürlükler Arasında Yüz Maskesi

Abstract

With the emergence of Covid-19, measures such as staying at home, quarantine, social distance and face masks under the state of emergency to prevent the spread of the pandemic are criticized and rejected because they negatively affect lifestyles. However, the face mask, which has become a necessity in many countries, is the most discussed measure in the context of violation of individual freedoms and respect for private life. Also, the social contract, which expresses an agreement or cooperation between members of the society in order to protect the social order by sacrificing individual freedoms, is beginning to be questioned in Covid-19’s new normal. A new social contract is called for that will not violate human rights and freedoms.
