Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey revealed a plan today that will allow retailers and state beaches to reopen under new rules later this week but restaurants, bars and other businesses will stay closed to the public for now.

The “safer-at-home” order will take effect at 5 p.m. April 30, ending the current “stay-at-home” order that has been in effect since April 4.

Ivey said the public’s adherence to those rules is allowing the relaxing of restrictions. Even though the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise, Ivey said there is a leveling off and the risk of hospitals becoming overwhelmed is no longer a concern.
