The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has extended a designation from July 2020 that identifies certain health and medical resources as scarce or threatened due to potential hoarding during the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes items like hypodermic needles and syringes, along with personal protective equipment and ventilators, which are essential for managing the virus's spread. The extension, effective from February 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021, aims to ensure these resources are distributed properly and not accumulated excessively by individuals or entities not in need. The extension also includes some modifications to the list of designated resources.
