Abstract

In early 2020, novel coronavirus pneumonia broke out in Wuhan and spread rapidly to the whole world, causing great losses to the entire human race. In this epidemic, Wuhan has taken some measures, such as closing the city and roads, imposing compulsory isolation on febrile patients, etc. These measures limit the basic rights of citizens. In fact, the state organs are exercising the emergency power to protect the social and public interests. Although the state only claims that China has entered a “state of war” and “state of emergency”, Wuhan and other places have actually entered a state of emergency. An important reason why China has not declared that China has entered into a state of emergency is that the construction of the legal system for the state of emergency in China is not complete. In order to better protect the basic rights of citizens in the state of emergency, the author thinks that the basic law of the state of emergency should be promulgated.
