| Abstract | The Covid-19 crisis has led to the unprecedented and widespread use of lockdown measures all over the world. With such drastic measures being imposed so widely and on such short notice, the concern is that the Covid-19 precedent, which has allowed the suspension of a wide range of human rights in a desperate attempt to curb the spread of the pandemic, is a dangerous one. Insufficient thought is being given to the effects of policies being put in place. In particular, the effects of these measures on the right to mental health are being overlooked, next to the harm done to the freedoms of movement, residence, assembly, and association. |
