On Tuesday August 3, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issues a new 60-day moratorium on residential evictions in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the increase of Delta variant cases.
As noted by CDC, this new moratorium applies to “United States counties experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels” of COVID-19.
The 60-day order will expire on October 3, 2021.
From CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky:
“The emergence of the delta variant has led to a rapid acceleration of community transmission in the United States, putting more Americans at increased risk, especially if they are unvaccinated. This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads. It is imperative that public health authorities act quickly to mitigate such an increase of evictions, which could increase the likelihood of new spikes in SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Such mass evictions and the attendant public health consequences would be very difficult to reverse.”
