Abstract
As new variants spread throughout the country, much of the U.S. COVID-19 response hinges on the states containing community spread. From vaccinations, to PPE procurement to mask mandates, state leaders need a plan and the capacity to implement it. As policymakers create new rules around interstate travel, quarantining, and contact tracing, cooperation between the states will be integral to the success of our response. This week’s COVID Law Briefing examines the states’ role in the national virus response and future public health preparedness.
Description
The COVID-19 Law and Policy Briefings, hosted in two series from March 2020 through July 2021, feature US and international public health law experts discussing the biggest legal issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The briefings are produced by the George Consortium, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University Beasley School of Law, and the APHA Law Section. Visit Public Health Law Watch (http://bit.ly/COVIDLawBriefing) to watch episodes. All past briefings are also archived by The Week in Health Law podcast.
