On Thursday, Aug. 27 Alabama Governor Kay Ivey extended the statewide mask order to the beginning of October, an amendment from the previous order that extended the order to Aug. 31.
If the order is not extended again it will expire on Friday, Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. The order requires individuals to wear face masks when in public and in close contact with other people.
Social distancing of at least six feet between people at non-work gatherings is still required as part of the “Safer at Home” order that was implemented earlier this year in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in Alabama and elsewhere in the nation.
