We have invested more than $6.6 million in additional funding in Sionna Therapeutics ([link removed])

If successful, these therapies would provide other options to people with CF, especially those who cannot tolerate current modulator therapies because of side effects.

Updated COVID-19 Guidance From the CDC

The CDC eliminated independent COVD-19 guidance, combining it with
guidance for respiratory viruses ([link removed]). The update includes staying away from others until fever is gone and overall symptoms improve for at least 24 hours. Other precautions after returning to normal activities include:

* Wearing a well-fitting mask
* Enhancing hygiene practices
* Maintaining physical distance from others
* Testing for respiratory viruses

People at risk for severe illness, including those who are older than 65 or are immunosuppressed, should continue to take extra precautions, including getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, and taking appropriate antiviral medications.
