It was lifted last June as most restrictions were eased. COVID case numbers and hospitalizations had plummeted and vaccinations continued to rise. Despite the expiration, several pandemic-related measures were permitted to remain in place unless modified or rescinded by the governor. The state also was permitted to continue issuing orders related to COVID vaccination and testing efforts, CDC recommendations, local health departments coordination and other recovery aspects.
