The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be reorganized, its director said on Aug. 17, after a review found that the agency didn’t respond adequately to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky informed the approximately 13,000 CDC employees of the move, which include changes to the agency in an attempt to make quicker decisions, be more accountable, and improve communication.
