The US government has extended again for the nth time the Covid-19 public health emergency past mid-July even though daily new cases of COVID-19 infection have declined since the Omicron surge.

The Department of Health and Human Services has continually extended the public-health emergency since its implementation in January 2020.

The declaration allows the US to grant emergency authorizations of drugs, vaccines, and other medical countermeasures and has enabled millions of Americans to get health coverage through Medicaid, among other benefits, according to Bloomberg.

On April 16, Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Health and Human Services, extended the public health emergency an additional 90 days through mid-July.
