A state of emergency and any restrictions imposed in connection therewith shall automatically terminate at the end of 5 days after it becomes effective, except that the same:
(A) May be continued for another 5-day period by the publication of a new proclamation; or
(B) May be earlier terminated by the Mayor, who may issue a proclamation declaring the state of emergency to be over at any time he or she concludes that to be the case, and who shall issue a proclamation if the Council concludes that the state of emergency has ended.
