Federal health agencies told to halt all external communications

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at 200 Independence Ave. SW in Washington, DC. The agency, which has some 90,000 employees, is putting a freeze on most staff communication as of Tuesday.

In a memo obtained by NPR, acting health secretary Dorothy Fink forbade staff from public communications on most matters until Feb. 1, unless they get express approval from 'a presidential appointee.'
