Sažetak
The paper deals with current issues of the security-legal regulation of population protection against infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on isolation of people in their own home or other appropriate facility (self-isolation), in order to prevent and combat infectious diseases in the context of coronavirus (COVID-19). Current health situation caused by coronavirus (COVID-19), which has reached pandemic proportions, has given the answer to the existing mechanisms in the battle against that infectious disease, but it has also pointed out the security-legal deficiencies which needed corrections or updates during the disease. In that regard, the author presents the review of valid legal solutions which regulate this issue and also puts forward the proposals de lege ferenda. The author clearly indicates the significant role of competent authorities of the Republic of Croatia in the prevention and fight against the infectious diseases and necessary design of legal solutions, without underestimating the role of all citizens in the enforcement of those solutions. Indeed, if the citizens are not responsible, self-disciplined and aware of the situation, high quality legal regulations must exist as an answer to such behaviour providing regulations under which those citizens will be adequately sanctioned, as an expression of social disapproval.
