The Public Health Emergency allows Executive Order 251 which mandates masking in the indoor premises of all public, private, and parochial preschool, elementary, and secondary school buildings, with limited exceptions to remain in effect.

The Public Health Emergency will expire after 30 days, unless renewed, for a third time.

Summary Status quo for at least the next 30 days.
