Abstract

Abstract. Aim: The purpose of the article is to identify the correlation between the right to health care and the right to housing in medical and enforcement practices in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods: The materials of the research were the legislation of the EU, Georgia, Ukraine, as well as information from World Health Organization, the World Bank, the media, and statistical data related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dialectical, axiological, statistical, comparative and legal methods were applied during the research. Results: Having studied the experience of Georgia, Ukraine and the EU countries allowed us to conclude that individual self-isolation in the housing is a necessary preventive tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The essence of selfisolation in terms of COVID-19 pandemic has been determined; its legal regimes have been singled out. Conclusions: It has been concluded that the self-isolation of a person in a dwelling (individual self-isolation) led to the emergence of a phenomenon in the form of a correlation between the right to health protection and the right to housing. In fact, there is a situation when the maintenance of public health has become possible, in particular, due to the self-isolation of a person in a dwelling.
