DeKalb County announced Wednesday that it is ending its COVID-19 state of emergency and that all employees will need to return to the office, with some hybrid work allowed. CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson signed an executive order that confirmed the end of the emergency and outlined the county’s post-emergency work plan.
