Governor Kay Ivey released Alabama's reopening plan on Tuesday, which outlined a two-week period of regulated activity after the state's stay-at-home order expires on April 30.
As several Southern states begin to lift coronavirus lockdown restrictions, Alabama has implemented a gradual approach to reopening restaurants, recreational facilities and other businesses. During a news briefing on Tuesday, Governor Kay Ivey released instructions to guide residents through Alabama's reopening plan, which called for a two-week period of regulated activity following termination of the state's stay-at-home order on Thursday.
According to the plan, dubbed Proceeding With Caution, individuals are encouraged to remain at home during the weeks between April 30 and May 15. Some businesses will be permitted to resume operations, but they are expected to comply with additional sanitation and physical distancing mandates. Governed by the same safety protocols and occupancy restraints, all retail establishments can reopen statewide after Alabama's stay-at-home order expires this week.
"I trust the people of AL to practice personal responsibility while enjoying the Gulf," Ivey wrote on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, another message in which she urged residents to"wear face coverings around people from other households" in public spaces, continue to wash their hands regularly and engage in"other good, common-sense hygiene" practices.
Today, Iâm announcing that weâll, once again, enter a âSafer at Homeâ Order thatâll still require social distancing & urge our people to continue taking all health precautions necessary as some folks will return to the workplace.
