The move comes just days after the federal moratorium expired over the weekend.
Lord says some tenants started getting eviction notices as early as Sunday.
“They suddenly were receiving eviction notices, that they could not contact their landlords,” Lord said.
The CDC says evictions would have been a threat to public health with more out of their homes, the virus would spread faster.
“It not only is going to prevent homelessness but also prevent the spread of this virus,” Lord said. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, signed an order stating that evicting tenants could be detrimental to public health control measures as the COVID-19 delta variant continues to spread. The moratorium on evictions applies to counties “experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels of SARS-CoV-2.”

MISSION SAN FRANCISCO DE ASIS, Honduras
First came Hurricane Eta. Then, Hurricane Iota, unleashing rains of biblical proportions on the hillside community of La Reina.
As Iota hammered La Reina for four days, residents kept watch on the mountain above their 300 homes for signs that they should flee. Some left quickly when the downpour ceased. Ivan Varela resisted, hoping to protect the seven houses he and his brothers had built over the years with money they earned in the United States.
On the last night, as his parents prayed, Varela shot his pistol into the air to scare off thieves stalking the properties of those who already had evacuated. But soon he realized the battle was lost. Water was gushing out of the ground and the earth was starting to tremble. He called his brother in Florida.
