Gov. Kay Ivey issues statewide mask order in Alabama

The mandatory mask order will last until at least the end of July.

If you are going out in the state of Alabama, you are going to have to start wearing a mask.

On Wednesday, Governor Kay Ivey issued a statewide mask order starting Thursday and lasting through the end of the month.

“Folks, the numbers don’t lie,” Ivey said. “I always prefer personal responsibility over a government mandate, yet I also know with all my heart that the numbers and the data […] are definitely trending in the wrong direction.”

Numbers of COVID-19 cases are on the rise in the state and, with it, the possibility of a college football season (or any athletic events) happening this fall becomes more in doubt.

On Monday, the SEC announced that they will make a decision on fall sports at the end of the month.
