Enhanced Surveillance of Citizens During SARS-Cov- 2 Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)

The current crisis caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has started many discussions about the possibilities of applying modern technologies in the control of this disease. The authors of this paper, based on relevant literature, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of modern tracking methods and analyse the key problems that can be caused by tracking of GPS locators on a mobile device, questioning the right to privacy and the right to freedom of movement. The core of this paper is the treatment of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights, in addition to the current legislation in the Republic of Croatia regarding authority when fundamental human rights are questioned, especially within criminal law and security services operations. A comparative overview of different approaches to combating the COVID-19 pandemic in the countries of the European and American continents is presented, as well as some legislative and judicial solutions.
