For example, if the guardian of a child is unable to perform his or her duties due to emergencies like being put under medical isolation, primary-level Party committees or civil affairs authorities must take over the guardianship, according to the code.
比如，兒童的監(jiān)護(hù)人在醫(yī)學(xué)隔離等緊急情況下無(wú)法履行監(jiān)護(hù)責(zé)任的，基層黨委或民政部門(mén)必須承擔(dān)起監(jiān)護(hù)責(zé)任。

Lawmakers say drafting the code is not about formulating a new civil law but rather systematically incorporating existing civil laws and regulations, modifying and improving them to adapt to new situations while maintaining their consistency.
人大代表們表示，起草《民法典》并不是制定一部新的民法，而是將現(xiàn)有的民事法律法規(guī)進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)整合，在保持其一致性的前提下，根據(jù)新形勢(shì)進(jìn)行修訂和完善。

The Civil Code will take effect on Jan 1, 2021.
