In the process of fighting them, humans have continuously explored and researched the pathogens, transmission routes, prevention, and curing methods as well as other aspects concerning these diseases; therefore, accumulating a rich experience. Here, biosafety refers to the prevention and control measures taken to reduce risk factors leading to infectious diseases. Since ancient times, China has been aware of biosafety and has taken aggressive measures to reach it. Nowadays, China has established a complete infectious disease prevention, control, and biosafety system which effectively reduces the prevalence of infectious diseases. In this paper, the history on the development of infectious disease prevention, control, and biosafety protocols in China since ancient times is studied.
