HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) -Alabamaâs mask mandate has been extended for another five weeks. But, Governor Kay Ivey says, after that - itâs over.
Governor Ivey said the mask extension is to allow businesses ample time to implement policies of their own and make any adjustments if needed. It also allows more Alabamians to be vaccinated.
After that, it will be personal responsibility to mask up or not.
Right now, about 350,000 Alabamians are fully vaccinated, with another 300,000 waiting for a second dose.
