ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REGULATION OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN UKRAINE

The article is focused on studying the epidemiological well-being as an object of administrative and legal regulation; the author has also defined the purpose of the article, which is to solve the following scientific problems: characterizing the concepts of “sanitary well-being” and “epidemiological well-being”; defining the essence of administrative and legal regulation as a separate type of legal regulation; establishing the essence of epidemiological well-being as a specific object of administrative and legal regulation. As a result of revealing the tasks formulated in the article, during which general and special methods of scientific cognition were used, the author has determined features of epidemiological well-being as an object of administrative and legal regulation, the most significant of which is the fact that such an object has its own structure including administrative legal relations that are aimed at creating a safe environment during a pandemic. On the basis of the features of epidemiological well-being, the author has substantiated the expediency of using a dualistic approach on determining its content, we mean broad and narrow content. It has been indicated that taking into account all the constituent elements of the system of epidemiological well-being without any exception, it must be defined in a broad sense. Such administrative and legal regulation includes a set of measures of different nature aimed at localization and prevention of mass spread of infectious diseases caused by natural pathogens. It has been emphasized that we should use a narrow approach under the priority of elements of medical and legal nature in the system of epidemiological well-being in order to its definition and its provision only through measures of a medical nature regulated by the current legislation.
