A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration's health departments to restore public health web pages and datasets that were deleted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other agencies under the Trump administration. The websites and data were removed in response to a lawsuit over access to COVID-19 information during the pandemic. The ruling requires the Departments of Health and Human Services, CDC, and Food and Drug Administration to reinstate the web pages and datasets by Wednesday, allowing for public access to health information again. The decision is seen as a victory for advocates seeking transparency and accountability in government response to health crises.
