[quote=Anonymous]Seems we were on a month-to-month extension. The last emergency orders for the city were supposed to end on March 16th. Extended until April 16th which is this week. But Biden just extended the national order by 90 days, so that clears the way for Bowser to extend the D.C. order for at least a further 90 days.

[b]The Biden administration extended the U.S. coronavirus public health emergency, now more than two years old, for another 90 days on Wednesday.

The move will maintain a range of health benefits received by some of the most vulnerable Americans during the pandemic, including access to coronavirus tests and telehealth services.

The decision to extend the emergency was expected, public health experts said, even though top federal health officials have said the nation is now in a favorable position, with fewer people hospitalized for Covid-19 lately than at any time since the early weeks of the pandemic.

The Department of Health and Human Services made a commitment at the beginning of President Biden’s term to give states at least two months’ warning before allowing the emergency declaration to lapse. Some governors have asked for even more time to prepare. The latest extension pushes back the expiration to mid-July.[/b]
