Description

This justification for unusual and compelling urgency is due to the public health emergency caused by COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic by the WHO. The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the United States was announced on January 21, 2020 and a national emergency was declared via Presidential Proclamation on March 13, 2020. The ultimate spread, length of time, and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown as this time and current data indicate that COVID-19 has begun to spreadexponentially, in the typical pattern for an epidemic..The goal of the ongoing U.S. public health response is to respond to and mitigate sustained spread of COVID-19 in this country.
