Under communications freeze, CDC updates some important health data but not others

With federal health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under a temporary freeze on public communications, some data and publications have not been released on their normal schedule.

The agency published some regular weekly updates Friday but not others. It updated one page on the agency's website about the overall activity of respiratory viruses across the nation and another that specifies how widely COVID-19, RSV and the flu are spreading.
