Identification of Work Injury Infected by Workers with COVID-19 Infection in China

Abstract

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected the safety of workers' working environment. It is not uncommon for workers to contract COVID-19 while working. In the post-EPIDEMIC era, in order to better protect workers' work safety and social welfare, this paper discusses the legal issues of COVID-19 and the identification of industrial injuries through legal norms analysis, case analysis, and other empirical analysis. Legislation is divorced from justice. The judicial practice of the same case in different territories is separated. This paper hopes to promote judicial and legislative practice by improving laws and policies on work-related injury insurance. This paper aims to make legal professionals and relevant legal learners understand the legal deficiency of current laws and regulations regarding industrial injuries of workers in the context of COVID-19. It is hoped that by improving laws and regulations and increasing the issuance of judicial interpretations, all localities and cities can provide legal support for ensuring workers' social welfare in the post-epidemic era. The final purpose is to improve the' infectious disease prevention law, Chinese labor law, work-related injury insurance regulations and other relevant laws to promote the protection of human rights and improve people 's living standards.
