新冠肺炎疫情防控中个人信息的公开与保护

Disclosure and Protection of Personal Information in CoVID-19 Prevention and Control

我国对于新冠肺炎疫情的公开分为国家层面的公开和地方层面的公开。两个层面的公开主要通过大众传媒方式,均涉及对确诊患者个人信息的公开。在实际公开过程中,存在过度公开和不正当传播个人信息的行为。在重大疫情中,个人信息的收集和公开主体仅限于法律法规授权的机构。应当综合衡量疫情防控需要和对个人隐私权的保护,决定对个人信息的公开程度,公开的具体个人信息应仅限于确诊患者的部分信息,并进行匿名化处理。此外,应通过完善行政、刑事和民事法律,加大对疫情防控中个人信息的保护力度。

Chinas disclosure of the CoVID-19 can be divided into national level disclosure and local level disclosure. The two levels of disclosure are mainly through mass media, both involving the disclosure of personal information of confirmed patients. In the actual process of disclosure, there are behaviors of excessive disclosure and improper dissemination of personal information. In a major epidemic, the collection and disclosure of personal information is confined to institutions authorized by laws and regulations. The need for epidemic prevention and control and the protection of personal privacy should be comprehensively measured to determine the degree of disclosure of personal information. The disclosure of specific personal information should be limited to part of the information of confirmed patients and should be anonymous. In addition, the protection of personal information in epidemic prevention and control should be strengthened by improving administrative, criminal and civil laws.
