Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, solidarity has been referred to many occasions to justify the measures imposed on individuals by public authorities. If solidarity benefits from a kind of common understanding, it is no less complex to define it in a consensual way. In addition, recent years have been marked by a strengthening of individual responsibility which contributes to the erosion of the principle of solidarity in our society. The purpose of this contribution is to demonstrate the omnipresence of this principle in the field of public health by means of concrete examples.
