The Biden administration renewed the Covid-19 public health emergency, a provision that gives the administration authorities to respond to the pandemic as cases are again on the rise.
US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra renewed the declaration on its expiration date – an expected step because officials have said they will provide 60 days’ notice if they do not plan to renew the emergency, and had not done so.
While conversations about when to end the public health emergency are ongoing and an announcement of a 60-day wind-down could come at any time – it does not need to be the end of the 90-day extension and could come before that – an end date has not yet been set. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services is in close contact with states and other key stakeholders about how to protect Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries once that decision is made.
