House GOP calls for end to COVID "health emergency"

A group of 15 House Republicans are co-sponsoring the Pandemic is Over Act introduced Wednesday by Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is over,” Guthrie wrote in a statement, announcing the bill. “Despite President Biden admitting this in September, his administration just authorized the 12th extension of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

“It is long overdue for President Biden to end the COVID-19 public health emergency and relinquish the emergency powers that he just renewed again. President Biden’s inaction and lack of transparency on this are unacceptable.”
