The State of Emergency was an effective and necessary tool that we utilized to protect our state, and we wouldn\u2019t have gotten to this point without it,\u201d Newsom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2022\/10\/17\/governor-newsom-to-end-the-covid-19-state-of-emergency\/#:~:text=SACRAMENTO%20%E2%80%93%20Today,%20Governor%20Gavin%20Newsom,used%20to%20combat%20COVID-19.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cWith the operational preparedness that we\u2019ve built up and the measures that we\u2019ll continue to employ moving forward, California is ready to phase out this tool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cCalifornia\u2019s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has prepared us for whatever comes next. As we move into this next phase, the infrastructure and processes we\u2019ve invested in and built up will provide us the tools to manage any ups and downs in the future,\u201d Secretary of the California Health &#038; Human Services Agency Dr. Mark Ghaly said. \u201cWhile the threat of this virus is still real, our preparedness and collective work have helped turn this once crisis emergency into a manageable situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The governor declared a state of emergency over COVID on March 4, 2020, and has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-10-17\/newsom-to-call-off-covid-state-of-emergency-next-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in the past that maintaining the state of emergency was important for California to be able to react to the virus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The governor\u2019s administration will request that state lawmakers pass legislation to keep permitting nurses to give out COVID treatments, as well as only letting lab employees process COVID tests. Governor Newsom\u2019s office also noted that the reason for ending the declaration in February is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/california-playbook\/2022\/10\/18\/rip-california-state-of-emergency-00062240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allow<\/a> the health care industry to be able to keep up with any increases in cases after the holidays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The governor\u2019s shutdown of the economy over COVID harmed businesses and families as companies and schools were forced to close down. When schools and companies went back to normal life in the Golden State, Newsom kept the directive going, as it is still in place today. Republicans have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-03-15\/democratic-lawmakers-block-gop-effort-to-end-california-covid-19-state-of-emergency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> out Newsom over extending the declaration, and Republican legislators even requested that lawmakers hold a vote to get rid of the declaration earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In pushing for her measure to do so in March, Republican state Senator Melissa Melendez <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-03-15\/democratic-lawmakers-block-gop-effort-to-end-california-covid-19-state-of-emergency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> the legislature should do its job to address COVID, noting, \u201cWe ended school years and we shuttered businesses and we implemented lockdowns and we enforced remote work and we implemented all sorts of policies and testing. We have grown over the last few years. We are equipped to deal with this and this constant state of emergency is no longer necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Governor of California Gavin Newsom is set to finally end his COVID emergency declaration in the state, but won\u2019t do so until next year \u2014 after the order will have been in place for almost three years.
