Biden Ends State of Health Emergency Related to Corona in USA

US President Joe Biden has officially ended the national health emergency declared due to COVID-19, under which, for more than three years, exceptional support has been provided to the health system in a country that has recorded more than one million deaths due to the Coronavirus.

The White House said Biden signed a law passed by Congress earlier "ending the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic."

This decision puts an end to generous funding for COVID-19 tests, vaccines, and other emergency measures, to free the world's largest economy from the grip of the global pandemic.

And although the United States of America (USA) is now abandoning the strict controls associated with Corona, the Biden administration has announced that it is working on a next-generation vaccine and other measures to combat any future variant of COVID-19.

"The "NextGen" project will accelerate and simplify the rapid development of next-generation vaccines and therapeutics through public-private collaboration," a US official added.

That official indicated that funding of about $5 billion is available to "help promote scientific progress" and "overcome the rapid development of the virus that causes COVID-19".
