This list includes declarations of a state of emergency in the EU Member States concerning the coronavirus pandemic (cut-off date : 17 April 2020, prepared by Prof Jernej Letnar Černič). 17 Member States of the EU (out of 27) have so far declared state of emergency due to the coronavirus. Three of them (Estonia, Latvia, and Romania) have notified the European Court of Human Rights that they have provisionally derogated from their obligations under the Europe Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms invoking its Article 15. Estonia, Lativa and Romania have also informed the Secretary-General of the United Nations that they have provisionally derogated from the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights under its Article 4 (3). 10 states that have not so far declared a state of emergency have nonetheless adopted several preventive measures, which in many instances amount to the de facto state of emergency. This list is based on official sources wherever possible. It will be updated as the situation develops. If you notice any errors or if you have any comments, please let me know.
