Know That the PHE Continues
Published on Wed Jun 15, 2022
Question: Does the public health emergency (PHE) related to the COVID-19 pandemic still exist? I saw that some COVID-19-related waivers were ending. Colorado Subscriber Answer: Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra renewed the PHE April 16, 2022, meaning it is in effect until at least July 15, 2022. President Joseph Biden said that states would get 60 days’ notice before the PHE would be declared over, which he has not yet provided, leading experts to believe that there’s a good chance that the PHE will be extended again. Some federal agencies have started to pause or end waivers related to COVID-19, so make sure you’re staying on top of those changes.
