This report from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights outlines some of the measures EU member states have put in place to protect public health during the pandemic. It highlights how they may affect fundamental rights and focuses on four interrelated issues: measures to contain COVID-19 and mitigate its impact in the areas of social life, education, work, and freedom of movement, as well as asylum and migration; the impact of the virus and efforts to limit its spread on particular groups in society; incidents of xenophobic and racist discrimination, including hate crime; the spread of disinformation concerning the outbreak; and the implications of related containment measures on data protection and privacy.
