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
If businesses believe wearing masks are important to keeping their doors open & their employees and customers safe – and many do – then they’ll have five weeks from today to get ready to impose their own policies. #alpolitics 4/8
The bottom line is we have kept the mask mandate in place for more than a generous period of time because it has helped. And as a result of the people of our state doing their part, we have seen dramatic results & real progress being made. #alpolitics 5/8
Additionally, the new Safer at Home Order makes changes to areas concerning senior citizens, summer camps, restaurants as well as hospitals & nursing homes. View the graphic below. governor.alabama.gov/assets/2021/03… #alpolitics 6/8
I’m proud to announce that by this weekend, it’s a good bet that over 1 million vaccines will have been administered in AL. That’s a significant milestone when you consider the first vaccine arrived in our state less than 3 short months ago. #alpolitics 7/8
I must once again thank the people of Alabama. Because of your personal responsibility & strong adherence to safety protocols, we’re finally rounding the corner. Please continue to practice patience & look out for your friends & neighbors. #alpolitics #TogetherAL 8/8

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

We're here to provide a briefing on #HurricaneSally, to share what’s been done so far & to discuss what we’re currently doing to hopefully keep our citizens safe as this slow-moving storm makes landfall later tonight. #alwx #alpolitics @AlabamaEMA @NWS
@AlabamaEMA @NWS Yesterday, I talked w/ @RepByrne as well as the various mayors & county commission chairmen, & offered every assistance humanly possible. Luckily, our local partners are also experienced leaders in emergency management. We’ll be there standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them.
The @WhiteHouse & the Trump Administration have been great to our state. They’ve been in constant communication with my office, & we greatly appreciate their offer to assist where possible & for them keeping an eye on Alabama. @POTUS #alwx #alpolitics

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 Image
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 Image
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. ImageImageImage
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 Image
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 Image
