Legal Talk Today
Partner Erik Swanholt appeared on the Legal Talk Today podcast, “PREP Act’s Liability Protections from COVID-19,” to talk about the PREP Act’s liability protections and limitations.
While the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) is supposed to protect those fighting COVID-19 from liability, Swanholt notes that it doesn’t protect everything all the time. He discusses its origins, its purpose, its several amendments and what constitutes a “covered person” and a “covered countermeasure.” Tune in to learn more about this complicated and rapidly evolving law and its limitations in the battle against COVID-19.
