Legal Issues Related to the COVID-19
Outbreak: An Overview
Updated May 8, 2020
The COVID-19 outbreak has rapidly shifted the congressional agenda in recent weeks, while altering the
daily livos of millions of American residents. Alongside the many medical, economic, social, and public
policy questions raised by the pandemic are a range of legal issues. These include both short-term legal
questions related to the unfolding outbreak as well as longer-term legal issues that are anticipated to
persist in the wake of the crisis. Among the most immediate questions are those related to the scope of
state and federal authorities concerning quartinnne imasurs, travel and cntrv rcstrictions, the movement
of medical goods, health care coverage, and the like. Of more ongoing concern may be legal issues
ranging from those related to the devclopmcnt of vaccinos, testing, treatments, and other medical
coucthneasulrcs, to postponing nationail olctions, to civil liability for COVID-19 exposure, to crininal
actions related to hoarding and price gouging, to providing economic assistance to individuals and
businesses, to forcelosure, cviction, and debt collection moratoria.
This Legal Sidebar provides a list of legal resources discussing these and other legal topics related to the
COVID-19 pandemic. It will be updated intermittently as additional legal issues emerge.
