Washington: The national emergency imposed to deal with Covid-19 in the US has been ended after nearly three years, after President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan resolution in Congress on Monday. A few weeks later, another state of public health emergency is due to expire. After the declaration of national emergency, the government takes strict measures to deal with the COVID pandemic and support the country’s economy, health and welfare system. Some emergencies have already been successfully eliminated while others are being phased out.
Extremely strict immigration rules were imposed at the US-Mexico border due to the public health emergency, which is set to end on May 11. The White House issued a statement on Monday saying that Biden had publicly opposed the resolution (related to the national emergency) and has now signed the resolution to repeal it. The resolution passed the Senate last month by a vote of 63 to 23. Joe Biden then told MPs that he was about to sign the resolution.
The administration worked to expedite preparations for a return to normal procedures when it became clear that Congress was moving toward ending the national emergency, the administration said. Under this, the housing and urban development department’s Covid-19 isolation program is going to end in May.
