The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a temporary freeze on public communications, halting the release of documents and external messages until approved by presidential appointees. This directive, noted in a memo by acting head Dorothy Fink, aligns with traditional procedures during transitions. While some officials view this as a necessary step for the new administration to organize effectively, it raises concerns about potential confusion and delays, particularly in public health communication. Experts anticipate the pause may be short-lived, emphasizing the need for smoother transitions between administrations.
"How temporary? That remains to be seen. There are a lot of discussions going on right now."
