Watch live: House COVID panel looks into preparations for future pandemics
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee's COVID-19 panel is holding its final hearing Thursday, focusing on ways to prepare for a future pandemic.
Subcommittee Chair Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) said in a press release that lawmakers will use the hearing to evaluate "the most effective strategies for improving America’s public health response during a future crisis, identify important lessons learned during the previous pandemic, and ultimately conclude the Select Subcommittee’s assessment of the federal government’s response to COVID-19."
Witnesses from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration will testify. The event comes after the U.S. faced a surge of COVID-19 infections over the summer — more than two years after President Biden declared the pandemic over.
The hearing is set to begin at 11:30 a.m. EST.
