US President Joe Biden officially ended the national state of emergency linked to Covid-19 on Monday, in place for three years in the country which has officially paid the highest price for the pandemic, with more than one million dead.
The White House said in a statement that the president had ratified legislation passed by Congress “ending the national state of emergency related to the Covid-19 pandemic.”
The separate state of health emergency is due to expire on May 11.
Its end should go hand in hand with the expiration of a measure put in place in 2020 under the Trump administration, which allows the deportation without delay of migrants without a visa, even potential asylum seekers.
While the US government publicly turns the page on the Covid-19 pandemic, it says it is already working on the next generation of vaccines and other measures to combat any future variants of the virus.
