Think the COVID threat is over? It’s not for these people

Declarations and loosened restrictions aside, for millions of Americans COVID is still a major concern.

Who are they? The many who are immunocompromised, chronically ill, or struggling with long COVID.

  • Last week, the public health emergency first declared by federal health officials in January 2020 ended, bringing about a number of changes to resources and the government response.
  • The federal government will stop buying tests and treatments to be given out for free, and those will now be covered by health insurance.
  • The Centers for Disease Control will sunset some COVID data tracking but will continue genetic analysis on variants and monitor hospitalizations and deaths.

What’s the big deal? For those who are at higher risk from COVID, the end of the public health emergency doesn’t mean they can let their guard down against the coronavirus.
