Operative words
As a result of confirmed cases of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), on this date and after consultation with public health officials as necessary, I, Alex M. Azar II, Secretary of Health and Human Services, pursuant to the authority vested in me under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, do hereby determine that a public health emergency exists and has existed since January 27, 2020, nationwide.
Enforcement
Predicate; the enabled instruments carry their own enforcement
Notes
The CDC conveyance, testing, cruise and Title 42 orders each provide that they remain in effect until the expiration of this declaration (see FED-020, FED-031, FED-038, FED-042); the PHE therefore fixes the outer life of the federal transport orders.
