In my country the "federal" level sets the minimum, but the "state" level can and frequently does go further. For example, "federal" level can say mandatory masks indoors, while "state" level can say mandatory masks both indoors and outdoors. It's quite flexible, and sometimes ridiculous. At one point all cafes were closed here, but I could go 2 kilometers to the east where there's no such restriction because it's in a different "state". "Federal" and "state" in quotes because we don't call them that, but for simplicity in comparison.
