Coronavirus pandemic in the EU – Fundamental Rights Implications in Luxembourg -July2020

The state of emergency which was declared for three months in Luxembourg came to its end on 24
June 2020. After three weeks of intense legislative work, on 22 June 2020 the parliament adopted two
“COVID-19 laws” to provide a continuous legislative framework addressing the COVID-19 situation
after the end of the state of emergency. The first piece of legislation contains measures with respect to individuals. They revolve around the limitation of mass gatherings, the application of protective measures such as wearing face masks or social distancing, and the identification, follow-up and removal of infected and potentially infected people. The second piece of legislation targets measures relating to economic, sporting or cultural activities and welcoming the public. It reinforces the current
health restrictions and rules, for example in restaurants, bars, and cafes.
