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

To help our fellow citizens, we've created graphics for our businesses & stores to download for free that can be printed & displayed in a window letting the public know you require a mask. These graphics are available at governor.alabama.gov! #TogetherAL #alpolitics 4/5

We are going to need everyone’s help if we are going to slow the spread and turn these trends into a different direction. We are asking everyone to do a better job practicing social distancing, personal hygiene and, now, wearing face masks. #TogetherAL #alpolitics 5/5
