Birmingham City Council votes to extend citywide mask ordinance By WBRC Staff | March 15, 2021 at 9:55 PM CDT - Updated April 6 at 7:17 PM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - While the state may be moving on from a mask mandate, the city of Birmingham voted to do the opposite.
The city instituted the mask-mandate on May 1st last year, and with a ‘yes’ vote Tuesday, the mask mandate now goes through May 24, 2021.
While Governor Kay Ivey said the statewide mask mandate will expire April 9, the City of Birmingham voted to extend the citywide mandate citing the health of neighbors and people who visit Birmingham.
