ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan in December 2019 is a public health emergency, which is characterized by unexpected, complex, clustering and staged characteristics. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on China’s economic and social development, caused a huge burden on people’s lives and health, and triggered a series of social and medical ethical problems. The main ethical problems include the restriction of personal freedom, social discrimination, clinical ethics, drug research ethics and so on. The government and society should pay attention to the ethical problems about epidemic prevention and control for COVID-19 pandemic situation. They should understand the causes and processes of these contradictions, and take scientific and effective measures to reduce the overall burden of prevention and control for COVID-19.
