The shorter extension is to ‘assess the potential impact the rise of cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations and deaths, and health care system capacity,’ the CDC said.
The decision was made due to the increasing spread of Covid in the US as air travel reaches close to pre-pandemic levels.
