Unfortunately, no. There are several articles on the subject, as well as the bill itself, which refers to the extra 180 days relating to non-COVID disasters.
From Forbes:
Disaster-Related Early Withdrawals
The second stimulus bill offers retirement account holders the ability to take a penalty-free early withdrawal of up to $100,000 from their retirement accounts in 2021 because of a non-COVID-related disaster. “The language doesn’t exclude COVID-affected areas—it just can’t be a COVID-only disaster area, nor does COVID have to be involved at all,” says Washington.
From Lexicology
Qualified Disaster Distributions. The Act provides for "qualified disaster distributions" from eligible retirement plans. Qualified disaster distributions are treated similar to other types of disaster distributions and the coronavirus-related distributions that were permitted under the CARES Act (i.e., they are exempt from the 10% early distribution penalty, included in income ratably over 3 years, may be repaid, etc.).
COVID-19 Exception. A "qualified disaster area" does not include any area with respect to which such a major disaster has been so declared only by reason of COVID–19. A list of federally declared disaster is located at FEMA
