(Kevin Dietsch\/Getty Images)<\/figure>\n<p>The legislation included a simple one-line description declaring that the pandemic national emergency \u201cis hereby terminated.\u201d\u00a0The resolution signed on April 10 does not impact the public health emergency, which is still scheduled to terminate on May 11.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Senate vote on the resolution. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) encouraged his fellow legislators to \u201cend this chapter and let Americans get back to their own lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask my colleagues to join me again in a strong bipartisan fashion in sending this resolution to the president\u2019s desk to end the national emergency declaration for COVID-19 once and for all today,\u201d Marshall said.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump enacted the COVID national emergency on March 13, 2020, after establishing the COVID public health emergency on Jan. 31, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the White House planned to end both emergencies on May 11.<\/p>\n<p>In a 60 Minutes interview last September Biden said, \u201cthe pandemic is over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still have a problem with COVID. We\u2019re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you notice, no one\u2019s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it\u2019s changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration wrote a letter to Congress on Jan. 30 highlighting the reasoning behind the decision to end the COVID national emergency and public health emergency on May 11.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt present, the administration\u2019s plan is to extend the emergency declarations to May 11, and then end both emergencies on that date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis wind down would align with the administration\u2019s previous commitments to give at least 60 days\u2019 notice prior to termination of the PHE,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be clear, [the] continuation of these emergency declarations until May 11 does not impose any restriction at all on individual conduct with regard to COVID-19,\u201d the letter continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey do not impose mask mandates or vaccine mandates. They do not restrict school or business operations. They do not require the use of any medicines or tests in response to cases of COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the White House said in a statement that \u201can abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system\u2014for states, for hospitals and doctors\u2019 offices, and most importantly, for tens of millions of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden on April 10 signed a measure that immediately ended the COVID-19 national emergency more than three years after it was enacted, the White House announced.
