The US will keep in place the public health emergency status of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing millions of Americans to still receive free tests, vaccines and treatments until at least April of next year, two Biden administration officials said.
Health experts believe a surge in COVID-19 infections in the United States is likely this winter, one official said.
Daily cases are down to an average of over 41,284 as of Nov. 9 but an average of 335 people a day die from it, according to the latest U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. The officials said a lot of work remained to be done for the transition out of the public health emergency. That work was ongoing.
