In the realm of infectious disease prevention and control,the assessment of health risks not only concerns individu-al well-being but also pertains to the public interest,necessitating regulation.The identification of close contacts plays a crucial role in severing the transmission chain and effectively controlling the spread of infectious diseases.This identification process is a preliminary administrative step in managing close contacts,fundamentally aimed at evaluating an individual's exposure risk to infec-tious diseases.The administrative regulation of personal health risk assessment encompasses the determination of risk facts and the categorization of risk levels.However,the assessment of individual health risks encounters dual uncertainties stemming from limited scientific knowledge and the inescapable influence of value judgments.In response,it is critical to elevate the legality and reasona-bleness of the interpretative discretionary standard used in determining close contacts.Enhancing the transparency of the assessment process and criteria,refining the expert consultation mechanism,providing comprehensive risk information,and incorporating social cooperation regulations are essential measures to improve the legitimacy and rationality of personal health risk assessments.
