COVID-19 national, public health emergencies to end May 11

Editor's Note

The Biden administration announced on January 30 that it will end the COVID-19 national and public health emergencies on May 11, the January 31 APnews reports.

The move gives healthcare providers and other stakeholders about 100 days to prepare for the termination.

The national and public health emergencies have played a significant role in US healthcare policies, including expanding the use of telehealth, fast-track approvals of COVIID-19 vaccines and treatments, and preserving healthcare coverage for Medicaid beneficiaries.
