    While we know staffing is the biggest need of our hospitals, some may need more beds as well. We’re prepared. I directed FEMA to activate the National Response Center and to begin deploying teams now to build more hospital beds.

    How safe your holiday is depends on how safe you are in the time leading up to the holiday. What can you do? Get vaccinated, boosted when eligible, wear a mask in public indoor settings regardless of vaccination status & consider testing before gathering with others.
