California Gov. Gavin Newsom has officially ended the state of emergency around COVID-19 in his state nearly three years after he established urgent measures due to the onset of the virus in early 2020.

Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, had signaled he would end the emergency while forceful rules, including mask mandates, have gone away, making the move a largely symbolic ending of the pandemic era.

“California is better prepared and that’s because we have a serious Legislature and health ecosystem in California that is second to none in the country,” he said. State emergency powers gave Mr. Newsom wide latitude to address the COVID-19 crisis by shifting funds or even commandeering certain property to deal with the virus.

California was the first state to issue a stay-at-home order in early March 2020. The idea caught on across the country, but many Americans wondered about the economic and social consequences, given clear evidence the virus wasn’t going away.
