As explained in Part I: Preparing for the End of the COVID-19 Emergency Declaration series, the Public Health Emergency (PHE) and National Emergency (NE) are coming to a close. While the Biden Administration had initially announced its intent to end the NE on May 11, 2023, President Biden signed a bill into law on April 10, 2023 that immediately terminated the NE.
