Firings of hundreds of CDC employees reportedly reversed

More than half of the 1,300 layoffs at the CDC were rescinded over the weekend, officials told multiple outlets, though about 600 workers remain fired. Members of the Epidemic Intelligence Service and the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report team were among those restored after what a federal health official called a "coding error." The White House budget office had announced reductions in force as the shutdown took hold. The AFGE union has sued the Trump administration, with a San Francisco judge to hear arguments this week, amid wider turmoil at the agency, including leadership upheaval.
