Abstract

This article seeks to define the exceptionality in the fulfillment of rights and freedoms of European citizens related to the free movement of people. The situation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic made the members of the European Union and the Schengen Area decide to impose movement restriction measures for citizens and residents in them. These ones, understandable at first due to the uncertainty of a new a new disease, endangered the European system of free movement itself, as well as the relevance of the systems of restriction of this right linked to European citizenship.
