President Biden has announced plans to end both the national and public health emergencies - which have been in place since the start of the pandemic - on 11 May 2023. The move comes three years after then-President Trump announced a national emergency to free up $50 billion in federal funding to help combat the outbreak. OMB confirms Biden plans to let both the Covid-19 national emergency declaration and the public health emergency expire on May 11. “It is long overdue for President Biden to end the covid-19 public health emergency and relinquish the emergency powers that he just renewed again,” Guthrie said. ICYMI: This week my bill to end the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) will be on the House floor.
