Alabama’s mask order
Alabama remains under a mandatory face mask covering order until Nov. 8.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris first issued the mask order on July 16.
The mask order requires people to wear coverings over their nostrils and mouth when within 6 feet of people from another household in indoor spaces open to the public, a vehicle operated by a transportation service, or an outdoor space where 10 or more people are gathered. Masks are not required for children 6 and younger, people with a medical disability that prevents wearing a mask, people voting, or those “actively providing or obtaining access to religious worship.”
At the time of the most recent extension, Ivey cited the importance of protecting people from coronavirus on election day. She has not indicated if she will extend the order past next week.
