Re-standardization of residential committee authority in the management of public health emergencies
Due to the inadequacy of relevant laws and regulations in public health management,residents'com-mittees have had a lot of confusion of responsibilities in the practice of COVID-19 prevention,which caused fierce conflicts between residents'committees and ordinary people.A review of the current laws shows that the main legal problems lie in the unclear scope of the residents'committee's authority to carry out epidemic prevention and the vio-lation of the autonomy of the residents'committee.According to legal analysis,there are two main suggestions to improve this kind of problem:first,delimit the scope of the residents committee to assist the work;second,strengthening the internal and external supervision of urban residents committees can effectively alleviate the current practical problem of residents committees with little power and great responsibility,and help them better play their role and participate in China's epidemic prevention and control system.
