Privacy during Pandemic: Where to Ease & Where to Tighten

  • The U.S. Office for Civil Rights (OCR) eases privacy rules to allow a massive shift to telehealthcare during COVID-19

  • The OCR allows disclosures during COVID-19 to protect the public health and the health of individuals who may be exposed

  • The news media is reporting on cyber attacks that exploit the coronavirus.
