Operative words
The instant Order continues the suspension of the right to introduce 'covered noncitizens,' as defined herein, into the United States along the U.S. land and adjacent coastal borders.... This Order will remain in place until either the expiration of the Secretary of HHS' declaration that COVID-19 constitutes a public health emergency, or the CDC Director determines that the danger of further introduction of COVID-19 into the United States has declined such that continuation of the Order is no longer necessary to protect public health, whichever occurs first. The circumstances necessitating the Order will be reassessed at least every 60 days.

Notes
