HHS renews public health emergency for COVID-19
Editor's Note
Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Alex Azar, on October 2, renewed the national public health emergency (PHE) for COVID-19 for another 90 days.
The renewal will take effect October 23. This is the third renewal of PHE, which has been in effect since late January.
The emergency declaration gives state, tribal, and local health departments more flexibility to request that HHS authorize them to temporarily reassign personnel to respond to COVID-19.
