the Proclamation of Emergency is revoked by direction made by the Governor; or

may be specified in the Proclamation of Emergency or in Regulations made under article 6(1).

does not prevent the making of a new Proclamation of Emergency; and

Any Proclamation of Emergency or direction made under this article shall be published in the Gazette as soon as practicable after it is made.
