Operative words

"On June 4, 2021, Governor Murphy signed P.L. 2021, c. 103 and Executive Order No. 244, which among other things, resulted in the termination of the Public Health Emergency declared in Executive Order No. 103. Nonetheless, Section 3 of P.L. 2021, c.103 provides that any administrative orders, directives, or waivers that relied upon the existence of the Public Health Emergency may be continued or modified by agency heads until January 11, 2022, unless explicitly revoked before that date. Pursuant to that authority, and with the approval of the Governor and in consultation with the State Director of Emergency Management, the Commissioner of the Department of Health is continuing and modifying the rule waiver"... public health professionals "are charged with investigating COVID-19 cases, tracing contacts, coordinating necessary support for proper isolation and quarantine of individuals diagnosed with or suspected of having COVID-19, leading COVID-19 outbreak investigations, supporting COVID-19 testing sites".
