| Popis | This case note discusses a decision by the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic considering the cancellation of an emergency decree issued during the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenged emergency decree established multiple criteria for individuals to access specific indoor and outdoor spaces, attend mass gatherings or participate in various activities. Operators of facilities, service providers, or event organisers were mandated to verify adherence to compliance with these conditions using the mobile app '‘čTečka’'. The preliminary question on the issue of data collection by the named mobile app as a possible violation of the GDPR was referred to the CJEU (C-659/22). The decision of the Supreme Administrative Court also emphasises that the healthcare administrative authority issuing an emergency decree cannot restrict activities or impose blanket rules solely by referring to the current epidemic situation in the region without providing further justification. Unless the entire state is officially deemed the centre of an infectious disease outbreak, it cannot be presumed without further evidence that everyone is a suspected infectious person. |
