Abstract
President-elect Joe Biden has a robust plan for slowing the infection rate of COVID-19. Should that plan include a federal mask mandate? Is such a thing even legally possible? Professors Lance Gable, Lindsay Wiley, and Wendy Parmet discuss the legal and social implications of a mask mandate, including the ways that it may be helped or hindered by the three branches of government and the likelihood of compliance among U.S. citizens.
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.
