Of the many lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most obvious is the need to reevaluate stateâ€â€‹licensing laws that impede the free and rapid movement of healthâ€care workers to places they are needed. Many governors suspended stateâ€â€‹licensing requirements in early March so that doctors, nurses and other health​care professionals licensed in other states could help with the publicâ€â€‹health crisis in their own states. These governors should not resume the ways of the past when the crisis ends.
