Because of the furlough of U.S. government employees, CDC has
restricted its activities to responses to emergencies and other
public
health matters of extreme urgency. This issue of MMWR contains two
reports
with immediate public health implications: one report provides
measures for
the prevention of hypothermia-related morbidity and death, and the
other
report summarizes the findings of a new study of factors associated
with
risk for and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
infection in
health-care workers following percutaneous exposure to HIV-infected
blood.
Other reports of public health importance and findings from the
ongoing
National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System will be published
at a
later date, and printed versions of this issue will be available to
CDC's
subscribers at a later date. The next scheduled issue will be
Volume 44,
Numbers 51 and 52, dated January 5, 1996, and will include the
figure and
tables on notifiable diseases for the weeks ending December 16, 23,
and 30,
1995.
