Abstract: One of the most striking issues arising from state responses to the covid19 crisis is the level of securitization and militarization of public health policies they imply at the global level. Drawing on WHO's discourse and the figure of the state of exception, this text constitutes an attempt to interrogate the moral and biopolitical reordering of public space involved, taking into account the differentiated levels of risk and exposure to violence this process entails depending on gender, race and class, among other variables. For that purpose, I take examples from various political and geographic contexts over the background of the last cycles of urban protest.
