HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra extended the federal declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19. The renewal is good for 90 days and will expire Monday, July 11. The federal government has been signaling its intent to end the state of emergency and likely will do so on that date if COVID-19 continues to appear endemic. HHS assured that states will receive at least 60 days’ notice before the declaration ultimately terminates.
