This order is being issued in response to a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases across the country as the Delta variant continues to spread. The CDC says that mass evictions would worsen the situation and that if people are allowed to stay at home, it could help prevent further spread of the virus. In addition to county specifications, there are also limitations regarding which individuals may qualify for these protections. Some of these stipulations include personal earnings specifications, alternative housing options, and previous efforts to make partial rent payments.
