The right to life is a fundamental and universally accepted human right. We can find it in numerous constitutional and international legal documents. The right to life has become more pronounced in the last few years since the whole world was facing with a pandemic of the SARSCoV-2 coronavirus disease (the COVID- 19 pandemic). In this paper, we will use a comparative method to analyze safety measures in several different countries aimed to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus. In particular, we will analyze the correlation between these safety measures and the constitutional right to life. An analysis of these measures shows that the safeguarding constitutional right to life was their main goal. However some of these safety measures sometime have led to restrictions of other rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution.
