President Trump has imposed temporary freezes at the National Institutes of Health on meetings, travel, communications and hiring, citing the need to review protocols.

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 Trump administration has put a freeze on many federal health agency communications with the public through at least the end of the month
