- The White House released a memorandum to protect the U.S. from future pandemics and biological threats. The memorandum outlines a strategy aimed at detecting early warnings of pandemics and biological threats, preventing epidemics and biological incidents, and preparing to reduce the impacts of epidemics. The plan pulls from goals set by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy that focus on the U.S. investing in research and development of tools that would help expand the country’s early warning systems.
