Containment and mitigation efforts by federal, state, and local governments have been undertaken to flatten the curve-that is, to curb widespread transmission that could overwhelm the nation's health care system. This CRS Insight presents selected international and U.S. government actions and related events, CRS products, and federal websites relevant to the domestic public health response to COVID-19. As the situation evolves, CRS will continue to publish and update products relevant to the current needs of Congress. This Insight will be updated accordingly. This Insight does not provide information on the international response to COVID- 19, nor on economic or other non-health policy issues related to COVID-19. This Insight also does not address issues related to health insurance and financing. For further information on those issues, see the CRS Coronavirus Disease 2019 homepage.
