State of Emergency related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic extended to February 27, 2021

Dear Health Care Practitioner:

On December 22nd, the Governor issued Executive Order No. 73 to extend the State of Emergency related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to February 27, 2021.

The order allows the continued suspension of various laws and regulations and other measures in these orders to facilitate the treatment and containment of COVID-19 through regulatory flexibility, promoting social distancing and avoidance of large gatherings, and protecting vulnerable populations.

This and previous Executive Orders may be found here.

Sincerely,
