摘要

In the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts between the right to life and health and the rights to freedom, econ- omy and equality are inevitable. Exploring conflicts of human rights and responding solutions will directly influence the success of the battle against the coronavirus. From the perspective of human rights' subjects, the conflicts are between young and elder COVID-19 pa- tients, COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, citizens from epidemic center areas and non-epidemic areas. In terms of the content of these rights, the conflict between the right to life and health and the right to econom-ic freedom should be resolved based on four principles: priority, the limit of costs, baseline equality, and resto-ration of justice. On the value side, the relationship between social order and freedoms should be clarified in five aspects: life, market, security, news, and speech to build a good governance model that can stabilize the order of epidemic preven-tion & control order and maintain social vitality.
