of confirmed cases of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID–

for any person to sell or offer for sale a good or service 
at a price that— 
(1) is unconscionably excessive; and

cumstances related to such public health emergency 
to increase prices unreasonably. 
(b) FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATION.—In determining 
whether a person has violated subsection (a), there shall 
be taken into account, with respect to the price at which 
such person sold or offered for sale the good or service, 
factors that include the following: 
(1) Whether such price grossly exceeds the av-
erage price at which the same or a similar good or 
service was sold or offered for sale by such person— 
(A) during the 90-day period immediately 
preceding January 31, 2020; or

(2) Whether such price grossly exceeds the av-
erage price at which the same or a similar good or 
service was readily obtainable from other similarly 
situated competing sellers before January 31, 2020. 
(3) Whether such price reasonably reflects addi-
tional costs, not within the control of such person,

by such person, or reasonably reflects the profit-
ability of forgone sales or additional risks taken by 
such person, to produce, distribute, obtain, or sell
