Abstract

COVID-19 has posed challenges to the global community at large and to jurisprudence in particular. In the current context, it is of paramount importance to find the best possible solutions in the field of legal regulation that help minimize the harmful effects of the global multisectoral crisis, save lives and restore the well-being of society. The work aims to clarify the theoretical problems in the legal status of medical innovations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The subject of research is anticoronavirus innovations in the medical field. The research methods used were the dialectical method, the system method, the formal-legal method, the historical-legal method, and the structural method. As a result of this work, the current state of legal regulation of anti-ronavirus medical innovations was analysed, in particular the international legal framework, as well as national legislation in this area; contradictions in the observance of the balance of public and private interests under the conditions of a pandemic are revealed and, consequently, some ways of resolving them are suggested.
