According to the provisions of Item (1) and Item (2) of Article 50 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Public Security Administration Punishment Law, anyone who commits one of the following acts shall be given a warning or fined not more than 200 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan: (1) refusing to implement the decisions and orders issued by the people's government according to law in an emergency; (two) hinder the staff of state organs to perform their duties according to law.

Take "People's Republic of China (PRC) Emergency Response Law" as an example, which stipulates that after the occurrence of public health emergencies, the people's government can take necessary measures to prevent the occurrence of secondary and derivative events, so as not to cause more serious impact. According to the epidemic situation in COVID-19, many local governments have issued regulations that masks should be worn in public places because they are contagious. Therefore, it is illegal to refuse to wear masks during the outbreak of COVID-19. As a citizen, it is a legal obligation to abide by laws and regulations. Under the prevention and control of major epidemics, individuals do not comply with the isolation and closure regulations issued by administrative organs for public health incidents, and serious violators may constitute a crime.
