Biden Extends US National Emergency Over COVID-19

Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times

President Joe Biden said the U.S. COVID national emergency will be extended beyond March

1, citing what he called a “risk to the public health and safety.” In a letter, Biden told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that “there remains a need to continue this national emergency.” The emergency would have been automatically terminated unless the president sent a 90-day notice to Congress stating it would continue beyond the anniversary date.
