CHINA'S PREVENTION AND CONTROL EXPERIENCES ON NOVEL CORONAVIRUS INFECTION IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
Abstract
So far, 40246 cases and 23589 cases of suspected cases of Novel coronavirus pneumonia (novel coronavirus pneumonia, NCP) has been confirmed, and the cases of cure and death have been on the rise (see chart 1), but the inflection point has not yet appeared. Since novel coronavirus pneumonia has the characteristics of human transmission, and the serious situation of the epidemic is still not decreasing, medical experts call on everyone to wait at home, which can minimize the transmission route and control the spread of the epidemic. At present, according to the unified arrangement and notice of the relevant departments of the state, all kinds of schools and enterprises at all levels are postponed to start school and return to work after Chinese New Year. However, the various "breaking through" actions, which have been reported on media, not only endanger public order, but also cause public nuisance, and have become one of the major risks during the epidemic period. Since those actions seriously disrupted the order of prevention and control of new crown pneumonia and endangered the lives and health of others, the Opinions on Punishing crimes in accordance with the law against the preventing and controlling of novel coronavirus infectious diseases were issued by the Supreme People's court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of public security and the Ministry of justice on February 6, 2020. It is explicitly required that someone uses violence or threat to obstruct state functionaries from carrying out measures such as epidemic prevention, quarantine, compulsory isolation, isolation and treatment for epidemic prevention and control according to law, it shall be convicted and punished for the crime of obstructing public service in accordance with the provisions of the first and third paragraphs of Article 277 of the criminal law. Whoever violently attacks the people's police who are performing their duties according to law shall be convicted of the crime of obstructing public service and given a heavier punishment.
