Can public officials travel during the epidemic?

Legal analysis: public officials travel to five places within 30 days of the epidemic and conceal their itinerary. Deliberate concealment is illegal. Because it is not allowed to go out during the epidemic, because it is also for everyone's safety, and this public official actually went to five places to play during the epidemic and concealed his itinerary. Obviously, this is illegal. During the epidemic, each of us has the responsibility to isolate ourselves at home for the safety of ourselves and others, instead of running around. Therefore, the practice of this public official is very wrong, not only irresponsible for himself but also irresponsible for the safety of others' lives. So it is illegal for him to deliberately conceal his itinerary.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases.
