The revised and supplemented law consists of six chapters and 53 articles.

One chapter and eight articles were added to the previous law. They specify the legal requirements related to the prevention of epidemics like disclosure and quarantine of the source of infection, interception of epidemiological links and emergency prevention of epidemics.

The revision and supplementation of the law is of significance in providing the legal guarantee for ensuring the state's security and the people's safety by strictly establishing the system and order in the prevention and treatment of epidemics.
