Do I still need to send a WARN Notice to EDD given the Executive Order suspending the 60-day notice requirement?

Yes. The Executive Order does not eliminate the written notice requirement—it only reduces the notice period. An employer is required to give as much notice as is practicable (i.e., reasonably possible) at the time notice is given. Employers who order a mass layoff, relocation or termination without any written notice could be subject to liability under the California WARN Act.
