July 27. 2021.	PL. ÚS 10/2021	Constitutional Court of Slovakia	Freedom of movement; discrimination; vaccination	The Constitutional Court of Slovakia annulled the provisions treating partly vaccinated persons as fully vaccinated ones.	In the early Summer of 2021, Slovakia implemented a border policy requiring quarantine from non-vaccinated persons entering into Slovakia, however, persons receiving only one dose were also exempted from this duty similarly to fully vaccinated persons. The Constitutional Court found that scientific reports do not confer immunization on a sole dose of vaccination, therefore, this amounted to a discriminatory treatment in favour of the partly vaccinated persons. As a consequence, the relevant rules were abrogated, and partly vaccinated persons also required to be isolated once entered into Slovakia.	https://www.slov-lex.sk/pravne-predpisy/SK/ZZ/2021/302/			https://spectator.sme.sk/c/22710319/court-objects-to-advantages-for-the-partly-vaccinated-but-no-practical-changes-at-borders-yet.html; https://www.state.gov/reports/2021-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/slovakia/; https://spectator.sme.sk/c/22701244/the-constitutional-court-reportedly-suspended-new-border-rules.html; https://visegradpost.com/en/2021/07/15/slovakia-constitutional-court-overturns-quarantine-for-non-vaccinated-people/

October 14. 2020.	Case PL.ÚS 22/2020-104	Constitutional Court of Slovakia	State of emergency; legal security	The Constitutional Court of Slovakia upheld the constitutionality of the governmental resolution ordering state of emergency in September 2020. due to the rise of the Covid-19 pandemic.	The deputy head of the Prosecutor General's Office and oppositional parliamentarians challenged the constitutionality of the governmental resolution introducing state of emergency to combat the Covid-19 pandemic in September 2020. The claimants contested the too vague and uncertain wording of the impugned governmental resolution. The Constitutional Court held that although the fact, that certain clauses of the governmental resolution were indeed insufficiently precise, the Government demonstrated convincingly that the declaration of state of emergency was based on the careful consideration of all circumstances and served public interest to protect the health and the life of the population. Therefore, the claim was dismissed.		https://www.ustavnysud.sk/documents/10182/116209962/14_10_2020.doc.pdf/c1d561cb-bb05-43f9-ab77-f6c76ba125ab	https://www.covid19litigation.org/case-index/slovakia-constitutional-court-slovak-republic-case-plus-222020-104-2020-10-14

May 13. 2020.	Case No. PL.ÚS 13/2020-103.	Constitutional Court of Slovakia	Data protection; right to privacy	The Constitutional Court of Slovakia abrogated the statutory provisions authorizing the public health authority to access sensitive personal data collected by the telecommunication service providers during the public health emergency.	The Constitutional Court of Slovakia heard a petition submitted by parliamentarians against a law authorizing the public health authority to access sensitive personal data of clients collected by the telecommunication service providers. The access meant anonimized data for statistical purposes and identifiable information for the purpose of notifying persons from necessary public health measures as well as to protect the health or life of the persons concerned. The challenge contested only the second and the third cases where privacy was relevant.  The Constitutional Court highlighted the role of safeguards in the protection of personal data such as subsidiary use of the optained data; clear definition of the purpose of using the data; supervision by a court or other competent body; obligation to delete the data after a certain time; and the notification of the persons concerned. The Constitutional Court found reasonable that telecommunication service providers should collect the data of such persons who might be notified from special public health measures, however, those provisions were abrogated which required from the service providers to give access upon request to the public health authority to this information. The Constitutional Court argued that such notifications could be made directly by the service providers themselves, therefore, access for the public health authority would not serve the greater effectiveness of the public health measures.	https://www.ustavnysud.sk/documents/10182/71853347/PL_13_2020.pdf/b67de2b8-fc03-4bc0-941c-2e475d3de83d	https://www.ustavnysud.sk/documents/10182/116209962/TS_22_2020+Lex+corona+PL.+%C3%9AS+13_2020.pdf/b264e3cc-6776-499d-8d71-89a0fdca16ff	https://www.covid19litigation.org/case-index/slovakia-constitutional-court-slovak-republic-no-plus-132020-103-2020-05-13	https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-slovakia-tracking/court-suspends-part-of-slovakias-phone-tracking-law-to-fight-virus-spread-idINL8N2CV63Y?edition-redirect=in
