The Trump Administration has frozen many federal health agencies’ communications with the public until at least the end of the month.

Here’s how the pause will affect North Carolina and alternative resources you can use for health information. The communications pause means a delay in crucial information from federal agencies, such as food recalls, drug approvals, and updates on public health threats, CNN reported.

The Trump administration told federal public health agencies like the CDC that they are not to communicate health messages for now. The hold includes memos, reports, online posts, website updates and other forms of communication. Scientific meetings were also canceled for the time being, including of advisory panels.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has paused public communications until Feb. 1 as Trump appointees take control of health agencies.
