§  3080. Declaration of purpose. A public health emergency that occurs
  on a statewide basis  requires  an  enormous  response  from  state  and
  federal and local governments working in concert with private and public
  health  care  providers in the community. The furnishing of treatment of
  patients during such a public health emergency  is  a  matter  of  vital
  state  concern  affecting  the  public health, safety and welfare of all
  citizens. It is the purpose  of  this  article  to  promote  the  public
  health,  safety  and  welfare  of all citizens by broadly protecting the
  health care facilities and health care professionals in this state  from
  liability  that  may  result from treatment of individuals with COVID-19
  under conditions resulting from circumstances associated with the public
  health emergency.
