The tension over how to approach this juncture of the pandemic was evident in a statement announcing the departure of the president’s coronavirus response coordinator on Thursday.
Mr. Biden said the United States had entered “a new moment” in the fight against the virus and acknowledged the pleasure that many people were feeling as they emerged from more than two years of fear and anxiety.

I don’t exactly get the meaning of announcing the departure of the president’s coronavirus response coordinator. Does it mean that the coordinator has completed his work? If so, the use of the word tension is odd to me because you know mission completed is a good thing and you feel relieved while tension means the opposite - mental or emotional strain.
