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 Image
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
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 Image
400,000+ unemployment claims have been filed w/ @al_labor. These are innocent people whose lives have been turned upside down & it’s not their fault. We hear your voices, your frustrations, your fears. Today’s order will hopefully begin providing some hope again. #TogetherAL 4/9
Our new, amended #SaferAtHome Order that has expanded reopenings will still require social distancing & urge everyone to continue taking all health precautions as we return to whatever normal might look like in the near future. #TogetherAL 5/9 Image
Beginning next Monday, restaurants will be allowed to reopen at a 50% occupancy rate with a 6 foot spacing between tables and other guidance that has been agreed upon by the Alabama Restaurant and Hospitality Association. #TogetherAL 6/9
Barber shops, hair and nail salons and other similar-type establishments will be allowed to open up with restrictions, again with guidelines that were developed by the State Board of Cosmetology. #TogetherAL 7/9
Gyms, athletic facilities and athletic classes may resume – and this is key – but they will be under strict guidance that they practice intense cleaning methods and social distancing. #TogetherAL 8/9
Our folks – & Dr. Harris’ team – are continuing to work today – & throughout the coming days – to give additional details & guidance. Our goal will be to announce the next phase of our reopening, hopefully by the middle of next week. #TogetherAL 9/9

Today is a giant step forward for our country as, after decades, Roe is finally overturned. Folks, after almost 50 years of standing up for unborn babies, our prayers have been answered. #alpolitics (1/6)
The fight continues, though. Here in Alabama, we have been preparing for this day when the decision-making authority on abortion is rightfully returned to the states. (2/6)
In 2019, I was proud to sign into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, which is one of the strongest bans on abortion in the country. (3/6)

As of Mon, AL has seen the lowest avg for new #COVID19 cases & hospitalizations since the spring of 2020. Y’all, this is definitely an indication we’re moving in the right direction. Thank you, Alabamians, for your tremendous help & support to get us where we are. #alpolitics 1/8
As I’ve previously stated, Alabama’s mask order will expire at 5 p.m. on April 9. Today, I’m announcing our state will then enter into our Safer Apart order, which will be in effect until May 5 at 5 p.m. governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2021/… @ALPublicHealth #alpolitics 2/8
Folks, we still have a public health order, but it’s greatly slimmed down due to everyone doing their part to practice social distancing, wearing a mask, & voluntarily getting a vaccine. I continue to encourage you to do all of these things & make smart decisions. #alpolitics 3/8

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

Release: governor.alabama.gov/newsroom/2020/…
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

#HurricaneSally dumped an enormous amount of rain & lingered over the Alabama coast for far too long; as a result, many people are still cutting down trees, sorting through debris, & are still without power. #HurricaneSally #alpolitics Image
From meeting with our coastal leaders, I can assure the residents here that you’re in good hands. Many of the officials here have been through this before. I have no doubt they will use their experience to help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible. #HurricaneSally
I’d like to reiterate my appreciation to the first responders, lineman, @AlabamaNG, Marine Police, Troopers, local police & sheriff’s deputies and countless others for working around the clock to help your fellow neighbors. #alpolitics #HurricaneSally

To the people of AL, know that we’re using every available asset & resource at the state level to support you in recovery. I assure you that we’ll be there for you as we start rebuilding our homes, businesses & communities over the coming days, weeks & months. #alwx #alpolitics
For those who’ve been directly touched by this storm, your fellow Alabamians are praying for you, & we stand ready to support you in every way humanly possible. I will visit some of our hardest hit areas & assess the damage firsthand when it is safe to do so. #alwx #alpolitics
I’ve been in frequent communication with our friends from @alabamapower & @powersouth. They hope to get their crews out today. Yesterday’s weather made it almost impossible to do anything more than provide power to hospitals, water systems & the like. #alwx #alpolitics
