The White House,

Hon. Kevin McCarthy,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision,
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency declared in
Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020, beginning March 1, 2020,
concerning the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, is
to continue in effect beyond March 1, 2023.
Today, we are in a different phase of the response to that
pandemic than we were in March of 2020, and my Administration
is planning for an end to the national emergency, but an
orderly transition is critical to the health and safety of the
Nation.
Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to
continue the national emergency declared in Proclamation 9994
concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. I anticipate terminating the
national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic on May 11,
2023.
Sincerely,
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic
On March 13, 2020, by Proclamation 9994, the President
declared a national emergency concerning the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Today, we are in a different
phase of the response to that pandemic than we were in March of
2020, and my Administration is planning for an end to the
national emergency, but an orderly transition is critical to
the health and safety of the Nation. For this reason, the
national emergency declared on March 13, 2020, and beginning
March 1, 2020, must continue in effect beyond March 1, 2023.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the
national emergency declared in Proclamation 9994 concerning the
COVID-19 pandemic. I anticipate terminating the national
emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic on May 11, 2023.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
