As of Tues., AL has seen the lowest avg for daily new #COVID19 cases & hospitalizations since June. Y’all, this is definitely an indication we’re moving in the right direction. I want to thank Alabamians for their tremendous help & support to get us where we are. #alpolitics 1/8 
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. Folks, we’re not there yet, but we're getting close. #alpolitics 2/8
Our new, modified order will include several changes that’ll ease up on some of our current restrictions, while keeping our mask order in place for another 5 weeks, until April 9. After April 9th, I will NOT keep the mask order in effect. governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2021/… #alpolitics 3/8
I want to first acknowledge our friends from South Alabama who are getting their lives, homes & businesses back in order following #HurricaneSally. We’re doing everything we can at the state level to help you get back on your feet just as quickly as possible. #TogetherAL 1/7
Today, with the support of Dr. Harris, I’m extending our #SaferatHome order for another 5 weeks. This includes extending our statewide mask requirement until Sunday, November 8. @ALPublicHealth #TogetherAL #alpolitics 2/7

I look fwd to being able to lift the mask order as much as you do. The reason we’re extending this order until after the election on Nov. 3 is because it’s important to have a safe environment for poll workers & citizens to vote in-person. #TogetherAL #alpolitics 3/7
Today, with the support of Dr. Harris, I’m extending our current #SaferatHome order for 5 weeks. This will include extending our statewide mask ordinance until Friday, October 2. governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/… @ALPublicHealth #TogetherAL #MaskUpAL #alpolitics 1/5
We are seeing a drop in our hospitalizations & daily positive #COVID19 numbers. I have no doubt this is a result of our mask mandate. I look forward to the days where we don’t need to wear a mask, but we can’t lose the ground we've gained. #TogetherAL #MaskUpAL #alpolitics 2/5
I appreciate the efforts of our teachers & administrators who are going to great lengths to keep our students safe. It is not an easy task to add increased sanitation & social distancing measures on top of your daily tasks. #TogetherAL #MaskUpAL #alpolitics 3/5
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the creation of the Governor’s Office of Volunteer Services. GOVS oversees a network of volunteer & faith-based organizations assisting Alabamians in areas ranging from education, health care, substance abuse, homelessness, to disaster recovery.
According to the @NationalService, over 1 million Alabamians volunteered in 2018. We appreciate GOVS impact on our state and commitment to recruit and motivate others to help their communities. @SERVEAL @AmeriCorps
Here’s a snapshot of some of the vital services Alabama’s @AmeriCorps has provided during the course of the #COVID19 pandemic. #TogetherAL @SERVEAL @AmeriCorps
Today, with the support of Dr. Harris, I am extending our current #SaferAtHome order until the end of August with a few minor modifications. Learn more here: governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/….

@ALPublicHealth #TogetherAL #alpolitics 1/5
The new order includes extending our statewide mask ordinance until August 31. While no one likes having to wear a mask, I believe we are making progress in this area. #TogetherAL #MaskUpAL #alpolitics 2/5
We must remain vigilant if we’re going to get our kids back in schools & keep our economy open. Wearing a mask can’t hurt but can only help. It’s a way to protect yourself as well as others you work with, care about & even love. #TogetherAL #MaskUpAL #alpolitics 3/5
Today, with the support of Dr. Harris, the medical community & many in the business community, I’m announcing a statewide mask order effective Thursday, July 16 to be in place until the end of the month.

This will be in addition to our #SaferAtHome order that expires July 31. Nothing else in the order changes & at this time we will not be further limiting capacity nor restricting events from operating. @ALPublicHealth #TogetherAL #alpolitics 2/5
However, as I have stated – this mask order is hard to enforce – so once again, I am calling on everyone in our state to practice personal responsibility & wear a mask. I continue to believe that personal responsibility is everyone’s responsibility. #TogetherAL #alpolitics 3/5
Folks, in a couple of weeks, it'll mark 4 months that our state has responded to #COVID19. I’m fully aware of the physical, mental & emotional toll this has taken on AL. This is indeed an unprecedented year for not only our state, but the entire country & world. #TogetherAL 1/5
In the last few weeks, the #COVID19 cases have continued to rise & currently there are over 33,000 Alabamians who’ve contracted this disease today. Over 800 have died. The fact is, folks, we are still in the thick of it. #TogetherAL 2/5
Today, I am announcing that our current #SaferatHome order is being extended from the July 3 expiration date to July 31 at 5 p.m. Learn more: governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/… #TogetherAL #alpolitics 3/5
I’m proud of our Alabama agencies & schools that are actively supporting @FLOTUS’ #BeBest initiative. During these unprecedented times, it’s important for us to assist families with techniques that teach children how to recognize, understand, & manage their emotions. #TogetherAL
I’d like to recognize Chickasaw City Schools for recently hosting a learning session on virtual counseling & academic advising for 100+ AL educators. Thank you for providing great mental health resources during the #COVID19 pandemic! #BeBest #TogetherAL @FLOTUS @AlabamaAchieves
In partnership with @ALPublicHealth, we’ve issued further guidance on how to apply the amended #SaferAtHome order to adult & youth athletic activities: go.usa.gov/xvhu6 .#TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth
In addition to the #SaferAtHome mandates, the following practices are strongly recommended for all camps serving children & teens: go.usa.gov/xvhuQ. #TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth

I’m grateful the AL Legislature was able to get the budgets approved Monday & agree on a pathway forward to make certain CARES Act moneys will get to Alabamians who’ve been economically hurt by #COIVD19 &, obviously, who need & deserve the help. #TogetherAL 1/6
In the next week, my administration will be announcing some different ways where all the members of the Legislature – as well as the people of Alabama – will have direct input into some of the different options that might be available. #TogetherAL 2/6
This week @ALPublicHealth inked a deal with @Apple & @Google, to use their contact tracing app to track those who may have been exposed to #COVID19 using Bluetooth signals. We’re proud AL has the opportunity to be 1 of the first 3 states to utilize this resource. #TogetherAL 3/6
Let me first take a moment to say a special word of thanks to each & every Alabamian. I know this has been tough on you; it hasn’t been a joy ride for us either. I so appreciate the personal sacrifices you’ve made to keep yourself & others healthy. #TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth 1/9
On May 15th, our current Safer at Home Order is set to expire. However, today I am announcing that we are amending and EXPANDING the list of what reopens under the #SaferAtHome Order. governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/…
#TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth 2/9
#TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth 2/9
Starting on Monday, May 11th this order is amended with expanded openings that will go into effect during this next phase of Safely Reopening Alabama. Picture of ORDER Graphic with all three. #TogetherAL 3/9
I’ve sought counsel from many avenues & received many recommendations. The Exec. Committee of my Coronavirus Task Force have been diligently working to help me incorporate all these good ideas. I truly appreciate everyone’s hard work & partnership. #TogetherAL 1/7
Today, I’m announcing that we’ll, once again, enter a “Safer at Home” Order that’ll still require social distancing & urge our people to continue taking all health precautions necessary as some folks will return to the workplace. #TogetherAL 2/7
On April 30 at 5:00 p.m. the #StayAtHome Order will expire and our Safer at Home Order will go into effect. Learn more: governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/… #TogetherAL 3/7
This week is the projected peak of the illness in our state. What the people of Alabama are doing is working, & we need to keep at it! As a reminder, our current #StayAtHome order stays in effect until April 30. #TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth 1/6
The Exec Committee of my Coronavirus Task Force has been hard at work reviewing recommendations to safely reopen AL. I’m as eager as anyone to get our economy spinning on all cylinders again, but we must make sure we’re doing it in a smart & productive way. #TogetherAL 2/6
My office & I have been in touch with our Congressional delegation because we want to see Congress replenish the funds in the Paycheck Protection Program. This program is absolutely critical right now, especially to our small businesses. #PPPLoans #alpolitics #TogetherAL 3/6
While all indicators suggest AL’s #StayAtHome order is working, I can’t over-emphasize how imperative it is to keep doing what we are doing. Now is not the time to let our guard down. We must all continue to do our part to #StopTheSpread of #COVID19. #TogetherAL 1/7
While some of the modeling suggests our efforts are paying dividends, many around the state are beginning to ask what our plans are to begin reopening parts of our economy. #TogetherAL 2/7
I’ve asked @willainsworthAL & the Small Business Commission to begin looking for ways where we can restart the economic engine of our state. They will present a set of recommendations by this Friday. #TogetherAL 3/7
In partnership w/ @yext, I’m excited to launch a new search engine tool to help AL in the fight against #COVID19! Alabamians can visit covid19.alabama.gov to get real-time answers to questions ranging from symptoms to testing locations. #TogetherAL

My priority as governor is making sure every Alabamian has the most accurate, up-to-date information about COVID-19, so we can keep our families safe. #TogetherAL #alpolitics
This service is free of charge and can be accessed either through altogetheralabama.org or directly at covid19.alabama.gov. #TogetherAL #alpolitics @yext
Earlier this week, I launched altogetheralabama.org as AL’s official #COVID19 resource hub. In partnership with @yext, I’m excited to share we’ve added a new search engine tool where Alabamians can get accurate answers to their questions. #TogetherAL
@yext We want Alabamians to visit altogetheralabama.org for all their #COVID19 needs ranging from finding a test center to #smallbusiness assistance to volunteering. You can even find a list of over 11,000 essential job openings here. @yext @ALPublicHealth #TogetherAL #alpolitics
@yext @ALPublicHealth We appreciate our friends at @yext for collaborating with our team to provide this helpful, fact-finding resource to Alabamians. We're proud to be one of the first states to offer such an extensive database of #COVID19 information from federal, state & local partners. #TogetherAL
My fellow Alabamians, effective at 5 p.m. TOMORROW, I am mandating a #StayAtHome order for our entire state. Read the order here: governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/…. #alpolitics #TogetherAL
Since March 6, we’ve taken several aggressive actions to reduce the spread of #COVID19. Dr. Harris & I have tried everything we knew to do to keep from having to take this next step. But late yesterday, it became obvious that more had to be done. #alpolitics #TogetherAL
I can’t say this anymore clearly—#COVID19 is an imminent threat to our way of life, & you need to understand that we’re past urging people to stay home. It is NOW the law. #alpolitics #TogetherAL
As of this morning, 538 people in AL have been diagnosed with #COVID19 & 3 Alabamians have passed. I can’t stress to you enough that we must take this deadly virus seriously. I assure you I’m doing everything in my power & using every available resource to protect AL. #alpolitics
#COVID19 is a global crisis. There’s just no owner’s manual on how to do this. This will be hard, but I’m more confident than ever that we’ll get through this TOGETHER. That’s why from this point forward, I want us all to think of this effort as #TogetherAL. #alpolitics
Rather than shutting the entire state down, I propose a different solution. Today, I join Dr. Harris in announcing a specific list of businesses that will close until April 17. View the amended State Health Order: governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/covid…. #alpolitics #TogetherAL @ALPublicHealth
