Retrieval noteThe county-level vehicle for closure or protocol enforcement against premises: EO 2020-43 para. 6 gave 'a local governmental jurisdiction... the authority to take immediate action against an entity that operates without submitting the prescribed attestation' (Ex. AZ-022), and county health and environmental departments held this abatement power throughout.
