Hello,

For those not already aware, the COVID PHE has been extended once again, effective 10/13/2022. https://aspr.hhs.gov/legal/PHE/Pages/covid19-13Oct2022.aspx

If HHS plans to end the PHE after this extension, we should expect to see the 60-day notice just before our next workgroup meeting scheduled for 11/14.

Happy Friday everyone!
