MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WKRG) — Alabama Governor Kay Ivey on Friday announced the closure of certain nonessential businesses across the state to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
The businesses include entertainment venues, athletic facilities, nonessential “close contact” service establishments, and nonessential retail stores.
Some examples she gave were nail salons, beauty shops, gyms and concert venues.
The businesses will be closed until at least April 17, the governor said.

I’m really surprised it took this long to do that.

It had already been done in certain areas, but Alabama has seen an explosion in case numbers in just the last couple of days, so they implemented these closures statewide.

Didn’t your governor override some cities/counties that had ordered a “shutdown” and said everything should remain open?

If the business isn’t on her list than it can continue to operate.

My wife (no pics) talked to her parents in Summit a couple days ago. MIL's immune system is medically surpressed. The news was still telling them it was fine to go out and about like nothing was happening.

I'm sure the copy machine salesman thinks that but the reality is no one is buying a copy machine in the middle of a pandemic.
