"2020 has been marked by the unprecedented outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its complex impact on EU policy-making and numerous implications for the EU legal order have been reflected in the content of nearly all events organised by ERA in the second half of 2020. The pandemic created a need for organisations – including the EU institutions – to reinvent their activities by adopting additional safety measures, by allowing employees to work from home and/or by switching to an entirely online working environment. Preventive measures adopted by organisations happen to include the processing of information concerning the movement of employees, such as location data, as well as concerning one of the most vulnerable categories of data, which is health data."
