The Biden Administration recently announced that the public health emergency will end on May 11, 2023. As many of the flexibilities to improve access to tests and treatments expire, learn what's next and what it means for you.
The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency in January 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
