This document from the Department of Health and Human Services makes corrections to previous notices related to COVID-19 countermeasures. The corrections address technical errors in two amendments to a declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, which provides liability protections for certain individuals involved in the distribution and administration of COVID-19 countermeasures. Specifically, it clarifies the effective time periods for liability protections, beginning on February 2, 2021, for the Fifth Amendment, and on February 16, 2021, for the Sixth Amendment, both lasting through October 1, 2024.
Simple Explanation
Imagine there are special doctors and helpers who give people medicine to protect them from getting sick. This note fixes a mistake in a rule that protects these helpers from getting in trouble if they make a boo-boo while helping, and it says the rules start on certain days in February 2021 and go until October 2024.
