President Joe Biden’s pronouncement that “the pandemic is over” is not likely to change his administration’s efforts to respond to COVID-19.
“We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lotta work on it,” Biden said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday. “But the pandemic is over.”
The optimistic remarks about the state of the pandemic in the United States will not lead to any immediate change in the public health posture, with a Health and Human Services Department spokesperson saying on Monday that long-standing guidance remains in effect.
