受全國人大常委會委托，全國人大常委會委員長栗戰書5月25日向十三屆全國人大三次會議作《全國人民代表大會常務委員會工作報告》。
China's top legislature said it will prioritize legislation on public health this year.
全國人大常委會表示今年將加強公共衛生領域立法。
In its annual work report， the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) said it plans to revise the Wildlife Protection Law， the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases， the Frontier Health and Quarantine Law， and the Emergency Response Law in 2020.
全國人大常委會工作報告指出，今年將對野生動物保護法、傳染病防治法、國境衛生檢疫法、突發事件應對法進行修改。
報告指出：
疫情發生以來，全國人大常委會堅決貫徹黨中央決策部署，迅速行動、依法履職，作出關于全面禁止野生動物非法交易和食用的決定，防范公共衛生安全風險，促進社會文明進步。適應國家治理體系和治理能力現代化要求，根據公共衛生領域新情況新問題，部署啟動強化公共衛生法治保障體系的立法修法工作，為守護人民生命健康安全筑牢法治防線。回應社會關切，主動宣傳解讀疫情防控法律，為疫情防控和經濟社會發展提供法律支持。
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak， the NPC Standing Committee has acted promptly and performed its lawful duty while rigorously implementing the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee. We issued the decision to completely ban the illegal trade and consumption of wildlife， thereby protecting against public health risks and promoting the betterment of society. In line with the requirement to modernize China’s governance system and capacity for governance， and in light of new issues and circumstances in the public health field， the Standing Committee arranged for the enactment and revision of laws to strengthen the system of legal guarantees for public health in order to build a stronger line of defense for the health and safety of the people through the rule of law. We responded to public concerns， actively reached out to the public to clarify epidemic prevention and control laws， and provided legal support for anti-epidemic efforts and economic and social development.
十三屆全國人大三次會議大會發言人張業遂表示，
China currently has over 30 laws on public health, which have generally withstood the test of the COVID-19 epidemic and played a positive role. There are still some weak links and shortcomings in the legal framework, and the NPC Standing Committee will further strengthen China's public health legislation.
在中國目前有30多部與公共衛生防治體系有關的法律，這些法律在這次疫情大考中總體經受住了考驗，發揮了積極作用，但也存在一些短板和不足。下一步，全國人大常委會的一項重要工作，就是通過立法修法進一步完善和強化公共衛生法制保障體系。
The formulation or amendment of 17 laws is expected to be finished within the year, and 13 others will be updated in due course.
計劃今明兩年制定修改法律17部，適時修改法律13部。
