This bill requires reports to Congress related to the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) shall report to Congress a classified, intelligence-based assessment on the threat of global pandemic disease, including an assessment of the possible courses of the COVID-19 pandemic in the 18 months following the report. The bill also requires the President to report to Congress on (1) a whole-of-government response to a potential second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and to future pandemics, and (2) a global strategy for mobilizing international institutions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

The reports shall also be publicly available, except that the publicly available ODNI assessment shall be an unclassified version of the classified report given to Congress.
