CDC Ensures Essential Lab Testing During Funding Lapse

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that it will maintain critical services during the absence of annual appropriations. Led by Dr. Mandy Cohen, the agency will ensure the continuity of essential laboratory testing for urgent public health needs.

While some services may face delays or unavailability, the CDC has reassured the public that all specimens received will be processed and stored appropriately. This includes critical patient specimens that require CLIA reference laboratory services. Dr. Cohen, who oversees agency operations, has confirmed that the CDC will continue to function as normal during this period.

The CDC's commitment to maintaining essential laboratory testing during funding lapses ensures that public health needs remain a priority. The agency's continued operation under Dr. Cohen's leadership provides reassurance during this time.
