Resumo: Introduction: The autonomy of the individual’s will aiming at the exercise of individual freedom by refusing the use of a face mask as a means of protection can have serious collective consequences in relation to the prevention and spread of the contagious infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Objective: To analyze whether the individual’s freedom of self-determination against collective interest in cases of compulsory use of a face mask will prevail. Method: The study was developed through documentary and bibliographic collection, with descriptive bias. Results: The official data and guidelines of the World Health Organization in joint analysis with the existing Brazilian legislation and the constitutional commandments of fundamental rights, allowed us to reach the result of the proposed objective. Conclusions: The published normative acts are based on validity in a federal standard with the status of a law in a formal sense, with the provision for the adoption of prophylaxis measures, including the mandatory use of the mask, to combat the pandemic. The prevalence of the collective interest in favor of public health and the fundamental right to life and health of others is legitimate given the individual’s freedom of self-determination.

Objetivo: Analisar se a liberdade de autodeterminação do indivíduo em confronto com o interesse coletivo nos casos de utilização compulsória de máscara facial irá prevalecer. Método: O estudo foi elaborado por meio de coleta documental e bibliográfica, com viés descritivo. Resultados: Os dados oficiais e as orientações da Organização Mundial de Saúde em análise conjunta com a legislação brasileira existente e os mandamentos constitucionais dos direitos fundamentais nos permitiram chegar ao objetivo proposto. Conclusões: Os atos normativos editados têm fundamento de validade em norma federal com status de lei em sentido formal, havendo neles a previsão de adoção de medidas de profilaxia, dentre elas o uso obrigatório da máscara, no combate à pandemia. A prevalência do interesse coletivo em prol da saúde pública e do direito fundamental à vida e à saúde de outrem são legítimas frente à liberdade de autodeterminação do indivíduo.Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde2020-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/165110.22239/2317-269X.01651Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology ; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2020): August; 34-43Vigilancia en Salud en Debate: Sociedad, Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2020): Agosto; 34-43Vigil Sanit Debate, Rio de Janeiro; v. 8 n. 3 (2020): Agosto; 34-432317-269Xreponame:Vigilância Sanitária em Debateinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporenghttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1651/1193https://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1651/1252Copyright (c) 2020 Vigilância Sanitária em Debate: Sociedade, Ciência & Tecnologia (Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology) – Visa em Debatehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAbud, Carol OliveiraSouza, Luciano Pereira de2023-06-27T15:12:36Zoai:ojs.visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br:article/1651Revistahttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebatePUBhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/oaiincqs.visaemdebate@fiocruz.br || gisele.neves@fiocruz.br2317-269X2317-269Xopendoar:2023-06-27T15:12:36Vigilância Sanitária em Debate - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false
