Gov. Ivey Says The State’s Stay At Home Order Will Remain In Place Through April 30

Gov. Kay Ivey did not announce plans to reopen the state in Tuesday’s press conference.

Ivey said the state’s stay at home order will remain in place at least through April 30.

“Keep doing what you are doing,” Ivey said. “I am as eager as anyone to get our economy back open and operating on all cylinders again. We have to do it in a smart way.”

The statements come as Ivey is under growing pressure to reopen businesses and healthcare facilities shuttered for more than a month due to the coroanvirus pandemic. Governors in Tennessee and Georgia announced yesterday they were reopening portions of their economies.

Ivey said business and healthcare leaders, elected officials and members of the Congressional delegation are providing input for reopening and the state is also using President Trump’s phased-in guidelines released last week.
