A Study on the Assistant Behavior of Grassroots Self-government Organizations in the COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control

As one of the core components of the social governance system, grassroots self-government organizations play an important role in assisting the Government in implementing management measures. However, problems such as grassroots self-government organizations banning people from returning to their homes, blocking villages and roads without permission, and disclosing personal privacy during emergencies in certain areas have also aroused widespread discussion in society.
