ASTM International recently approved a new performance standard that will tell consumers just how much protection their cloth face masks offer. Some face coverings like N-95 respirators and surgical masks must meet certain filtration requirements enforced by government agencies like the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But, until recently, other masks like reusable gaiters and cloth face coverings had no performance standards whatsoever, making it impossible for consumers to judge how protective their masks were or to compare one mask to another.

Avilez filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Dr. Chen and Mercy Clinic East Communities in January 2021.
A few weeks later- he made a surprising claim in legal documents.
Dr. Chen said he couldn t be sued for the wrong site surgery because “Dr. Chen is immune from liability for the alleged acts or omissions pursuant to the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act)”.
The
Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness act was activated in March 2020.
The emergency measures give legal immunity to health care providers who are working to stop the spread of COVID-19 by using approved countermeasures.
“Obviously, we are not claiming that COVID had anything to do with the fact that Dr. Chen operated on the incorrect side of Natalie s spine,” said Morgan Murphy, Avilez’s attorney. “It is a fairly straightforward situation. A doctor should never perform the incorrect surgery, period.”
