President Donald Trump issued a pause on external communications for federal health agencies until February 1, affecting reports and advisory updates. While California maintains access to critical health information about respiratory illness transmission, the pause restricts updates from institutions like the CDC and NIH due to the administration’s approval requirement for communications. The California Department of Public Health is committed to providing ongoing health updates, paralleling concerns of high flu activity in the state amid the broader health crisis.
"California will continue to work collaboratively with our federal partners to ensure that families in our state are healthy and our communities are vibrant places to live and work."
The order requires agencies to get approval from the White House prior to disseminating external communications, leading to uncertainty.
