CDC Launches Team to Manage the Fallout From Deep Staff Cuts

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is creating a temporary strike force to manage the fallout of sweeping workforce cuts, according to an email obtained by Bloomberg News.

Due to “significant operational and programmatic issues for CDC emerging during this period,” the agency is creating a new temporary organization, it said in an email to employees. The group, called the “Transition Management Structure,” will address urgent issues resulting from the reorganization.
