Balance of private and public interests in the field of entrepreneurial activity during the period of taking measures to ensure the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population
The work is devoted to the issue of determining the balance of interests of the entrepreneurial community, society and state. We conduct a fairly detailed analysis of the reasons for the restrictions imposed due to the spread of new coronavirus infection COVID-19. We work on the concepts of “public interest” and “private interest”, we investigate the limits of restric-tions that the state has the right to impose in terms of entrepreneurial activity regulation. We substantiate the conclusions that the tasks of entrepreneur-ship’s state regulation indicate that state regulation is necessary not only for the state, but also for entrepreneurs themselves. And the introduction of re-strictions, despite all their painfulness, was beneficial in the long term for en-trepreneurs. We also emphasize that these restrictions are not always propor-tionate and adequate to the current conditions. In the course of the study, we conclude that the restrictions should be thoughtful, understandable and justi-fied, while the state should think about counter measures of support, since in fact, in the current situation, the entrepreneurial community shared with the state all the risks and severity of consequences from the complication of the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country.
