Governor Ivey Expected To Update State Stay-At-Home Order On Tuesday

(WBRC) – Governor Kay Ivey on Tuesday will hold a joint news conference to provide further updates on COVID-19. Right now the stay at home order for Alabama is dated through April 30.

Tuesday State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris, as well as members of the Executive Committee of her Coronavirus Task Force will join the governor for the live news conference.

There has been no information on if this media briefing will deal with the reopening timeline or when that will happen.

Governor Ivey will be on a conference call with President Donald Trump Monday afternoon to discuss possible ways to reopen the economy. This is a call the White House is hosting with several other governors.

The Governor said she also has “several conversations and calls today.”

Sunday the Governor’s office released a statement with information on when to expect a reopening plan to be unveiled.

“Governor Ivey is mindful and sensitive to the sacrifices the people of Alabama have made during this pandemic, and she is eager for businesses to safely reopen. She has been in continuous discussions with the White House and appreciates the helpful guidance that they have given to states as her and her fellow governors make these tough decisions. As it currently stands, the Stay at Home order remains in effect until April 30.  Governor Ivey and Dr. Harris have been working through the weekend to firm up a timetable to reopen, and I expect we will probably hear an announcement from them early in the week as to how Alabama will gradually phase in business.”

State health and political officials have been collaborating to find out a plan to safely reopen.
