Is it illegal not to do nucleic acid testing during the epidemic?

Whether it is illegal not to do nucleic acid testing during the epidemic period generally depends on the situation:

1. Under normal circumstances, it is not illegal not to participate in nucleic acid testing;

2. Doing nucleic acid testing is not only for individuals, it is not a seemingly personal thing, but during the special epidemic period, the strict epidemic prevention measures introduced by relevant departments will be investigated for legal responsibility if they encounter violent resistance. Universal screening is everyone's legal obligation and everyone's contribution to this field. Everyone should properly understand the call issued by the government and cooperate with the detection of nucleic acid to make their environment and their home in a relatively safe environment. In the area where all staff are tested, some people also received fraudulent text messages, demanding that they must be tested within three hours, but they all went for the purpose of defrauding money. Relevant departments also reminded the public to know how to identify such anti-fraud information.

Legal basis: Article 12 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases.

All units and individuals within the territory of People's Republic of China (PRC) must accept the investigation, inspection, sample collection and isolation treatment of infectious diseases by disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions, and provide relevant information truthfully. Disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions shall not disclose relevant information and materials involving personal privacy.

Where the administrative department of health and other relevant departments, disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions illegally implement administrative management or prevention and control measures and infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of units and individuals, the relevant units and individuals may apply for administrative reconsideration or bring a lawsuit according to law.
