Is it illegal not to do nucleic acid testing for a long time?

Violation of the law may constitute a crime of obstructing the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. It is the legal obligation of all units and individuals to accept the investigation, inspection and sample collection of infectious diseases by disease prevention and control institutions and medical institutions. Persons included in the scope of nucleic acid detection are suspected of violating the provisions of the Emergency Regulations on Public Health Emergencies if they do not participate in the nucleic acid detection organized by the unified organization: if the relevant units and individuals do not cooperate with the investigation, sampling, technical analysis and inspection, they may violate the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, which constitutes a violation of public security administration, and will be punished by the public security organs according to law; Anyone suspected of constituting a crime will be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of allegedly obstructing the prevention and control of infectious diseases according to the Criminal Law.

Therefore, it is illegal to refuse to accept nucleic acid testing. If you refuse to accept nucleic acid testing and cause serious consequences, such as the spread of viruses, you will commit the crime of obstructing the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; If the consequences are especially serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.

Remind everyone that if the government department informs you to do nucleic acid testing, those who meet the requirements must "do all the tests". In order to avoid trouble and worry about being infected with COVID-19 virus, some people avoid nucleic acid testing. In fact, this kind of behavior is undesirable, and it may also lead to serious consequences.

If you don't obey the arrangement and don't do nucleic acid test, you will be infected with COVID-19 virus without knowing it, or even spread the virus to others, and you will bear the legal consequences.

In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, no one can stay aloof. In the special period, safety protection should be done well and legal awareness should not be less. Therefore, when the conditions are met, it is recommended that everyone conduct nucleic acid testing as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the cost of nucleic acid testing for all staff members is borne by the government, and individuals do not need to pay their own expenses.
