Abstract
This Law primarily addresses public health measures in the context of emergency situations, particularly concerning infectious disease outbreaks. Its stated objectives include the prevention of disease spread, the mitigation of its consequences, and the protection of public health. The legal framework emphasizes the need for proportionality in the measures taken, aligning with the rights to free movement and public safety. It operates within the broader context of public health law and emergency management, highlighting the role of authorized bodies in implementing these measures. The document outlines several key measures, including restrictions on the free movement of individuals and transportation, isolation, and observation protocols. It specifies that quarantine measures can be established through government decisions, which may include special regimes for entry and exit from the Republic of Armenia. The measures are designed to be proportional to the public health objectives and are aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases while ensuring compliance with legal standards. Implementation of the outlined measures involves coordination among various state management systems, local self-governing bodies, and other stakeholders, including individuals and legal entities. The document emphasizes the need for these measures to be agreed upon with the authorized body and highlights the importance of stakeholder involvement in the enforcement of public health regulations. Procedural considerations and compliance requirements are also noted, ensuring that the actions taken are legally sound and effectively communicated to the public. In the Republic of Armenia, the physiological norms of nutrition approved by the Government are maintained in healthcare and social protection institutions, the armed forces, other troops, as well as in penitentiary institutions. All the necessary components of the population's nutrition, in sufficient content, are healthy, balanced and complete nutrition must comply with public health standards. This Law envisages the process of ensuring full nutrition, preventing diseases caused by micronutrient deficiencies, and epidemiological monitoring.
