Alabama extends mask mandate 1 month, bucking other GOP-led states
By Peter Sullivan - 03/04/21 12:41 PM EST

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) said Thursday she will extend her state's mask mandate for another month, a contrast with decisions from governors in Texas and Mississippi to lift orders.

Ivey noted that coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have fallen but said the time is not yet right to lift the mask order.

"Even with this positive news, Dr. Harris & I believe more Alabamians need to get their 1st shot before we take a step some other states have taken to remove the mask order altogether & lift all restrictions," she wrote on Twitter, referring to state health officer Scott Harris. "Folks, we’re not there yet, but we're getting close."


The move sets up a split between Southern Republican governors on mask mandates and could be an indication more GOP governors will not follow Texas and Mississippi's leads right away.

Alabama's mask order will remain until April 9, after which Ivey said it would not be extended. She notably defended the effectiveness of the order.

Maybe Alabama should get their vaccination act together! Based on this, https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations , they're making California and New York look good!

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

In my state, vaccinations are going along swimmingly, but our (nominally) Republican governor still won't relax the stupid mask requirements.  *****rollingeyes*****
