The Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission today announced expedited procedures for reviewing the antitrust impact of joint efforts among competitors related to the novel coronavirus.

To the extent that there is a need for guidance, the agencies said they will work to resolve all COVID-19-related requests addressing public health and safety within seven calendar days of receiving all needed information
