Resumo:This paper analyzes the new forms of discrimination for health reasons, cause the irruption of the SARS-Cov-2 virus in our lives, in the field of labor relations. We will analyze the protection mechanisms that our legal system arbitrates against these new forms of discrimination both in access to employment, as in the development of the employment relationship or at the time of its termination. Faced with the application of apparently neutral norms, discriminatory behaviors may underlie that towards certain groups of people. First of all, we will analyze how these discriminatory acts can violate other fundamental rights such as privacy, dignity or the protection of personal data related to health. Second, we will focus on determining when business decisions caused by the health situation of workers violate the principle of equality and non-discrimination. And, finally, we will analyze the classification of the dismissal based on causes related to COVID 19.
