Notes

FILE NAME IS WRONG: the file is eviction Order 2021-06, not a 'Face Coverings' order (the May 27, 2021 date in the file name is consistent with the recording sequence: no. 2021119772 falls between the May 21 and July 30, 2021 recordings). Recites the CDC order's extension from April 1 to June 30, 2021.
