Resum:	Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that was first identified in December 2019 and emerged into an ongoing global pandemic. Both the pandemic itself and the associated public restrictive measures of social mobility established with different intensity over different periods in various countries have significantly affected the everyday activities and lifestyles of people all over the world. The impact of lockdown and quarantine measures on hypertension incidence and blood pressure (BP) control is an important topic that requires further investigation. The aim of this review is: a) to present the current evidence regarding the actual effects of public restrictive measures on BP levels and control, originating primarily from studies investigating the impact of public restrictive measures on BP control with the use of various BP phenotypes; b) to summarize the possible pandemic-related effects of factors known to affect BP levels, including both traditional (e. g. dietary habits including alcohol and sodium intake, body weight, smoking and physical activity) and non-traditional (e. g. sleep patterns, air pollution, environmental noise, delayed diagnosis and medication adherence) ones.
