រដ្ឋបាល Biden នឹងបញ្ចប់ការប្រកាសអាសន្ន Covid-19 នៅថ្ងៃទី 11 ខែឧសភា

Topline

The Biden administration will allow the ongoing Covid-19 emergency declarations to end on May 11, the White House បានប្រកាស on Monday, as part of a wider pivot to treat the coronavirus as an endemic seasonal threat coming less than a week after the FDA proposed an overhaul of its vaccination strategy to do the same.

A Covid-19 national emergency and public health emergency went into effect in 2020 under former President Donald Trump’s Administration and have since been extended multiple times by President Joe Biden allowing for wide access to free vaccines, tests and treatments.

The national emergency was set to expire on March 1 while the health emergency was set to end on April 11, however, the White House decided to extend both till May 11 before ending them.

In an administration policy សេចក្តីថ្លែងការណ៍, the Office of Management and Budget said the emergency is being kept in place till May as an abrupt end would lead to “wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system.”

The White House’s declaration comes just a day before the Republican-controlled House is set to vote on a bill called the “Pandemic Is Over Act” seeking to immediately end the public health emergency.
