To my knowledge public health officials only made recommendations that legislators and/or governors then put into action. And: some actions, like the NY nursing home debacle, were driven solely by the governor without recommendation by public health officials.

Another good example here is how much blame Anthony Fauci receives, when in reality it was Donald Trump that made decisions about how the Federal government would approach COVID. Sometimes he listened, and sometimes he didn't: but ultimately Fauci had zero power to do anything but advise the president.
