We consider various types of litigation that may follow the Covid-19 pandemic, including: claims against National Health Service (NHS) Trusts by patients who have contracted the coronavirus (or by their bereaved families), claims by NHS staff against their employer for a failure to provide any or adequate personal protective equipment or testing, commercial claims arising from the procurement of medical supplies, the potential liabilities to those who suffer adverse reactions to any vaccine and the guidance issued by the regulators in relation to subsequent disciplinary action.
我们考虑了新冠疫情之后可能出现的各类诉讼，包括：感染新冠病毒的患者（或其遗属）对国民医疗服务体系（NHS）信托机构提出的索赔；NHS工作人员因其雇主未能提供任何或足够的个人防护装备或检测而对雇主提出的索赔；医疗用品采购引发的商业索赔；对任何疫苗产生不良反应者的潜在责任，以及监管机构就后续纪律处分发布的指导意见。
