I don’t see any of this being reported in the news.[/quote]

That was helpful. Sounds like the order ended existing local restrictions, but does not prevent them from making new ones.

“Hogan’s order Tuesday also revoked local-level restrictions, leaving county leaders scrambling to decide whether and how to reimpose stricter rules in the face of plateauing coronavirus cases and widening spread of concerning variants.”

“Cities and counties that want to maintain some restrictions probably will have to reissue those orders, officials from four different jurisdictions said in interviews.”[/quote]

But they will, apparently, have to use different authorities.  The MoCo order, for instance, derives its authority from the state order.  But the state order no longer provides for more restrictive local orders, so they're going to have to find something else.[/quote]
