The subject of the article is an analysis of institutions of the state of epidemic emergency and the state of the epidemic. The author considers their substance and legal nature, as well as the procedure and conditions for their introduction and cancellation. A significant part of the considerations is devoted to the regulation on the introduction of the state of epidemic emergency or the state of the epidemic. The subject of the analysis is its legal nature, content, and control of its legality. The studies carried out lead to the conclusion that while the very concept of anti-epidemic states deserves approval, their current model needs to be fundamentally changed because it is contrary to the constitutional principles of restricting rights and freedoms.
