The city of Birmingham will not extend its mandatory face covering ordinance beyond midnight Friday, May 29, but that doesn’t mean citizens need to become complacent, said Mayor Randall Woodfin.

“Public health leaders say covering your nose and mouth is a critical tool to help reduce the spread of coronavirus. I urge everyone to keep social distancing, wear face coverings in public and do what you can to limit the spread,” Woodfin said during the City Council meeting Tuesday.

He said the ordinance, which has been in place since May 1, raised the importance of wearing a face covering when in public and social distancing by staying at least six feet from other people.
