The CDC is letting many people go. About 600 employees are getting notices of job loss. This is happening after a court made a decision about some workers.

HHS says they are making changes to be better. They want the health groups to be more useful. They did not give details about the job cuts at the CDC.
Some of the job cuts are in violence prevention. This is sad because of a recent shooting. Experts who helped stop violence are losing their jobs now.
HHS sent notices to many workers on April 1. This was to make the health groups smaller. Some workers are safe because of a judge's decision, but others are not.
