The federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) for COVID-19 ends today, May 11, 2023, prompting changes to data reporting and surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. As a result, the CDC has updated select infection prevention and control recommendations for healthcare facilities, which were informed by these data.
In this town hall, hosted by CDC’s Project Firstline, CDC officials will review the updates to these recommendations and the infection control actions that continue to be effective at stopping the spread of respiratory viruses in health care. This town hall will also feature a panel of healthcare professionals that will discuss how they will operationalize these updated recommendations in their diverse facilities.

CDC remains dedicated to preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19, particularly for populations at higher risk and will continue working to reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 after the PHE has ended. Please join us for this important discussion, so we can continue to work together to stop the spread of infections in health care.
