- COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Extended through Mid-April
On January 11, the Department of Health, and Human Services (HHS) renewed the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency until April 15. By extending the emergency, states and Medicaid services will continue with affiliated waivers for various sectors of the US health care system for another 90 days.
This may be the last time HHS renews the health emergency. The next deadline for the pandemic will be in mid-February as the Biden administration has promised to give stakeholders 60 days’ notice before letting the health emergency expire.
