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

The drastic measures of the last 2 ½ months have been out of a need to slow the spread & help prevent a surge of our hospital ICU beds. Statewide we’ve not exceeded capacity & everyone who needed a ventilator has been able to receive one. #TogetherAL 4/6

It is now time that we move forward & further open our state & live with the new normal of incorporating #COVID19 precautions into our routine. #TogetherAL 5/6

Effective Friday, May 22 at 5 p.m. & running until July 3, we’re going to expand our #SaferAtHome order to allow more businesses to open while still maintaining social distancing & taking precautions. governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/… #TogetherAL 6/6
