PLI Press is proud to announce the publication of the new edition of COVID-19 and Other Pandemics: Business and Legal Challenges.
Originally published in 2020, the book was featured on Above the Law which cited it as “[t]he first publication to address the complex, evolving [legal] issues” arising from the pandemic. The treatise has since been fully updated to keep pace with the rapidly evolving situation surrounding COVID-19. Maintaining its results-oriented approach, the book combines practical advice, the latest scientific research, and guidance from key government agencies to provide readers with the answers they need on workplace liability and best practices; employment and labor issues; contracts and frustration defenses; and more.
Some of the highlights from the new edition include:
- Governors’ Authority: Updated answers regarding whether 1) governors possess the power to shut down business to reduce COVID-19 spread (see §3.1); 2) governors have the authority to issue emergency health orders (see §6:3); and 3) governors may ban gatherings during the time of the health emergency (see §8:1).
- OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard: Added discussion of OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard and what it covers (see Ch. 4, §8:5, and §14:8).
- COVID-19 Statistics: Updated to reflect U.S. COVID-19 cases as of May 2022 and Global Health Statistics as of early 2022 (see Ch. 1).
