The United States may keep in place the public health emergency status of the COVID-19 pandemic until at least April of next year as the Biden administration gave no signal to states Friday that it would rescind the rule next year.

Previously, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) told states they would get a notice of 60 days if the health emergency is to be lifted. The designation was renewed last month until Jan. 11, 2023.
