Research On The Failure Of Early Warning System For Public Health Emergencies

The COVID-19 has swept the world for more than a year,and it has brought a huge test to the early warning system of public health emergencies in countries around the world.As far as my country is concerned,despite the active adoption of various epidemic prevention measures,the early warning system of public health emergencies has always been "failed" and has not been activated.The reasons behind it are puzzling.However,only a sensitive activation of the early warning system of public health emergencies can effectively guide administrative emergency agencies to carry out emergency response,ensure timely and effective risk information communication between the government and society,enhance public trust in the government,and ensure that public health emergencies can be timely and effective control to avoid major losses.In this paper,guided by the theory of risk regulation and the theory of emergency rule of law,it studies the provisions of the existing laws and regulations related to the early warning system of public health emergencies,analyzes the reasons for the early warning system of public health emergencies,and combines the latest epidemic prevention experience to come up with some suggestions.From the theory of emergency rule of law,a complete legal system is the prerequisite for emergency rule of law.However,there are many imperfections in the structure of the early warning system for public health emergencies in my country.The specific manifestation is the current early warning subject rules conflict,the division of early warning levels and the allocation of early warning authority are unreasonable,and the path of the early warning system is not smooth,and the legal effect of early warning has not been confirmed by the law.Risk regulation theory believes that a good risk information exchange system is an important prerequisite for initiating early warning.However,the current source of early warning information is too singular,and it is excessively affected by public opinion regulations,and it is impossible to form a benign public opinion to urge emergency agencies to detect risks in a timely manner;in addition,there is a conflict between the early warning system and the information release system,and the early warning system has been replaced by risk level announcements.In order to solve these dilemmas,firstly,it is necessary to improve the emergency legal system,stipulate a unified early warning body,and divide scientific early warning authority;secondly,it is necessary to build a scientific and unobstructed early warning start path,replace "major infectious disease" with "statutory infectious disease".In order to facilitate the actual operation of the early warning system,a three-level warning classification system should be constructed;in order to expand the source of warning information,it is necessary to exert the function of social public opinion supervision and broaden the source of external information;It should also be recognized that early warning and information release are interrelated.The release path of early warning information should be unified,the sequence of early warning information release should be standardized,and conflicts between systems should be eliminated.
