Operative words

There exists a condition of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the State of Idaho caused by the increasing presence of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which, by reason of its magnitude, is beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of any city or county. Accordingly, I find that there exists an extreme emergency within the State of Idaho.

Enforcement

Idaho Code § 46-601: during a state of extreme emergency the Governor has 'complete authority over all agencies of the state government' and may 'promulgate, issue and enforce rules, regulations and orders' (recited in Ex. ID-020)
