title: Legal action for the prevention of pandemics in China.
abstract: Pandemics still impose threats to human beings. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, (PRC) a series of laws and regulations have been written for the sake of preventing the spread of pandemics. This legislative process included drafting definitions and explanations of certain terms for the purpose of classification and administration, popularization, education and disease status reporting. The content of these regulations and laws has been enriched and refined constantly in accordance with the special features of the latest outbreak of pandemics. No one is exempted from these PRC regulations and laws on the Prevention and Treatment of Pandemics.
