A large majority of the new COVID-19 cases Hidalgo County reported Thursday were tied to schools, all as the number of deaths appeared to dip significantly for the first time in more than a week.
The Health and Human Services Department on Thursday published a proposed rule to change the Trump administration’s rules about standards for compliance by family planning services projects authorized under Title X of the Public Health Service Act.
Former President Trump’s administration restricted the flow of taxpayer dollars to those who refer women for abortions. The Biden administration wants to undo Mr. Trump’s rules.
“Those rules have undermined the public health of the population the program is meant to serve,” HHS said of its new rules on Thursday. “The Department proposes to revise the 2019 rules by readopting the 2000 regulations, with several modifications needed to strengthen the program and ensure access to equitable, affordable, client-centered, quality family planning services for all clients, especially for low-income clients.”
