The Trump administration announced several medical regulation cuts to allow hospitals to adapt to the needs of the coronavirus pandemic.

Seema Verma, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said on Monday that the administration was cutting regulations to allow hospitals to expand outside existing facilities, called “hospitals without walls.” The policy allows hospitals to expand to makeshift facilities to provide care better to those infected with COVID-19.
