Operative words
Gov. Tate Reeves announced on Thursday his intent to allow the state of emergency he declared in early 2020 to combat the COVID-19 pandemic to expire on Nov. 20. Reeves previously announced in June that he would let the emergency order expire on Aug. 15, but reversed course as the delta variant pushed the state's hospital system to [the brink]... Under the state of emergency, State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs was able to mandate that hospitals coordinate under MSDH's COVID-19 System of Care Plan... The state of emergency order also granted Dobbs the power to issue his own health-[related orders, including] requiring hospitals to participate in a state-run program that allows real-time tracking of hospital bed space, and requiring school districts to report their COVID-19 [cases].
Notes
Establishes that the emergency was in force throughout 2021 Q3 and what mandates depended on it (hospital System of Care coordination; bed-capacity reporting; school case reporting; National Guard activation).
