Deputy calls for legal amendments to better deal with future pandemics
Laws need to be amended to streamline epidemic control measures in China and to ensure the protection of privacy during the process, according to Liu Yan, vice president of Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, who is a deputy to the National People’s Congress from Shanghai.
Liu said the epidemic report mechanism should be simplified.
Under current law for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, a disease control institution shall report an epidemic to the local health administration which then informs the local government as well as its superior institution and the health administration of the State Council.
