FDA plays a critical role in protecting the United States from threats such as emerging infectious diseases, including the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. FDA is committed to providing timely guidance to support response efforts to this pandemic. FDA is issuing this guidance to provide recommendations to drug and biological product manufacturers regarding: Manufacturing controls to prevent contamination of drugs, Risk assessment of SARS-CoV-2 as it relates to drug safety or quality, Continuity of manufacturing operations. This policy is intended to remain in effect only for the duration of the public health emergency related to COVID-19 declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on January 31, 2020, effective January 27, 2020, including any renewals made by the HHS Secretary in accordance with section 319(a)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 247d(a)(2)). However, the recommendations described in the guidance are expected to assist the Agency more broadly in its continued efforts to assure the safety and quality of drugs and maintain the drug supply beyond the termination of COVID-19 public health emergency and reflect the Agency’s current thinking on this issue. Therefore, within 60 days following the termination of the public health emergency, FDA intends to revise and replace this guidance with any appropriate changes based on comments received on this guidance and the Agency’s experience with implementation
