  • To assess the extent of protection afforded to high-risk groups, including the homeless, prisoners, geriatric and psychiatric patients, and frontline healthcare workers.
  • To focus this analysis on Italy, a country severely impacted by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of legal frameworks and public health policies implemented in Italy.
  • Review of ethical considerations regarding the protection of vulnerable populations during a pandemic.
  • Examination of case studies and reports concerning the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on specific at-risk groups.

Main Results:

  • Preliminary findings indicate significant challenges in balancing public health imperatives with individual liberties during the COVID-19 crisis in Italy.
  • The study highlights varying degrees of protection for vulnerable groups, with some facing heightened risks and inadequate safeguards.
