Metro's public health orders

As of March 29, 2020, Metro does not have all of its public health orders gathered in one place. Here they are:

Board of Health resolution declaring a public health emergency, March 15, 2020

Order 1 (about bars and restaurants), March 17, 2020

Amended and Restated Order 1, March 20, 2020

Order 2 (about gyms and workout facilities), March 20, 2020

Order 3 (“Safer at Home”), March 22, 2020

There has been some back and forth about whether there should be a time limit for how long the declared public health emergency will last. Here is a March 17 letter from 3 Council Members asking about this and other issues. Here is Dr. Alex Jahangir’s March 20 response, where he says that he intends to ask the Board of Health to amend its original public health emergency declaration “to sunset on May 31, 2020, subject to extension as needed.”
