The article discusses topical problems of qualification of violations of sanitary and epidemiological rules (Art. 236 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Particular attention is paid to the analysis of judicial practice in the case of such signs as “mass illness or poisoning of people” or “the creation of a threat of the onset of such consequences.” These questions are being updated by the author in connection with the spread and fight against the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Possible negative scenarios for the development of the situation with this disease in penitentiary institutions are predicted. It is concluded that responsibility for a violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules, which created a threat of the onset of such consequences, can occur only if this threat is real, when a mass illness or poisoning of people did not occur only as a result of timely adopted by state authorities, local self-government, medical employees and other persons of measures aimed at preventing the spread of the disease (poisoning), or as a result of other circumstances beyond the control of the will of the person who violated these rules.
