没有一篇文章能够涵盖COVID 19大流行引发的人权问题。因此，本文采取了选择性的方法。从危机的过去、现在到假定的未来，讨论了危机周期的各个阶段，涉及影响到一般民众的突出权利问题。表达自由和获取信息的权利产生于“过去”，即病毒的开端，当时中国压制了有关其性质和毒性的信息。目前，各国正在实施封锁，以阻止病毒的传播，在某些情况下，封锁已使医院系统不堪重负：“目前”提出了有关健康权、生命权、生计权以及行动、集会和结社自由的问题。最后，危机的“未来”结束-以研制疫苗的形式-将提出新的权利问题，涉及对候选疫苗进行试验的权利，以及一旦疫苗问世后获得疫苗的权利。
No article can cover the panoply of human rights issued raised by the COVID 19 pandemic. Hence, this article takes a selective approach. Stages of the cycle of the crisis, from its past, its present, to its presumed future, are discussed in relation to salient rights issues affecting the general population. Freedom of expression and access to information arose in the “past”, the virus’s beginning, when China suppressed information about its nature and its virulence. Currently, States are imposing lockdowns to stop the spread of the virus, and in some cases have overwhelmed hospital systems: “the present” raises issues regarding the rights to health, life, livelihood, and freedom of movement, assembly and association. Finally, the “future” end of the crisis, in the form of the development of a vaccine, will raise new rights issues, regarding the rights upon whom vaccine candidates are tested, and in terms of access to the vaccine once it is available.
