Abstract
This paper describes measures aimed at combating the COVID pandemic 19 related to the population. The measures are presented with regard to their adopters and an analysis of their legal nature was conducted. First, the general measures adopted by the Minister responsible for health and the Civil Protection Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the instructions and recommendations of the Croatian Institute of Public Health. The second part of the paper refers to individual measures, where the way of imposing self-isolation measures is especially problematic when these measures are ordered by epidemiologists or general practitioners. At the appropriate places in the paper, special reference is given to the Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia in case no. U-I-1372/2020 et al. of 14 September 2020 by which the Constitutional Court did not accept the proposal for the assessment of the constitutionality of certain provisions of the Civil Protection System Act and the Act Amending the Infectious Diseases Protection of the Population Act. The final conclusion is on the need for amendments to the Law on the Protection of the Population from Infectious Diseases.
