In some places (hello Michigan) the governor is given certain emergency powers for 4 weeks or 30 days. Then when the governor grants themselves the power to run the state as a dictatorship for more than a month, the courts get involved. I doubt many (any>) of the mayors imposing executive orders upon those not on the city payroll actually have the power to do so.
