SAN DIEGO—The San Diego City Council Jan. 24 voted to end the city’s COVID-19 emergency declaration and a city employee vaccine mandate at the end of February.

Mayor Todd Gloria, City Attorney Mara Elliott, and City Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert on Monday released a joint statement proposing to end the emergency declaration—which had been in effect since March 17, 2020, under then-Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s administration. Since that date, it has been renewed and extended multiple times by the San Diego City Council.
