Methods The information of 1286 public place health administrative punishment cases in Hefei from 2017 to 2021 and the data of national double random supervision and inspection in the National Health Surveillance Information Platform were used for statistical analysis.
Results The five-year investigation rate of cases in public places in Hefei was 4.43%, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=155.57, P < 0.001). The investigation rates of cases in beauty salons, bathing places, shopping malls and supermarkets, cultural and entertainment places, swimming pools, and hotels were significantly different (χ2=421.59, P < 0.001). The cases mainly came from daily supervision and management, which accounted for more than 89% of the cases each year. The investigation rate of national double random supervision and inspection cases increased year by year (χ2=58.03, P < 0.001). The five-year investigation rate was 6.58% for national double random supervision and inspection cases, which was significantly different from other cases (χ2=47.77, P < 0.001). The punishment was mainly based on general procedures. The types of punishment mainly included warning + fine. Additionally, 55.69% cases involved violations in hygiene license and health certificates. Moreover, 11.41% of the subjects were punished multiple times within five years, mainly in bathing places, accounting for 16.83%.
Conclusion The cases mainly came from daily health supervision and management. The investigation rate was high for national double random supervision and inspection cases. Among the six types of places, swimming pools and hotels showed high incidence of illegal activities. Limited types of punishments were used with low fine and coverage of causes of action.
