Like you, we are continually monitoring the impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) across the country and within our destination. In the interest of public health, our cities are working closely with the authorities to ensure our citizens' and guests' well-being.
We ask that you adhere to your home state’s guidelines, especially regarding stay-at-home orders.
On April 7, Governor Kay Ivey announced the State of Alabama will move to new Safer Apart guidelines beginning Friday, April 9 at 5:00 p.m., and the new guidelines will remain in effect through Friday, May 5 (when updated guidelines will be released).
Recommendations for individuals.
All individuals, and especially vulnerable persons, are encouraged to exercise personal responsibility in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by:
