It might work. We will see

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said Thursday she plans to lift the state's COVID-19 mask order by April 9.

"Let me be abundantly clear, after April the 9 I will not keep the mask order in effect," Ivey said at a news conference.

Ivey cited reduction in COVID-19 case statewide.

As of Tuesday, Alabama's seven-day average for new COVID-19 cases was 778 per day, an 82% drop from the high reached Jan. 10 and the lowest average for daily new cases since late June, Ivey said, adding that COVID-19 hospital rates had similarly declined.

So, that's Alabama, Texas, and S. Dakota not enforcing. We're on the way.

Need to add Iowa to the list. Gov. Reynolds ended mask mandate and all restrictions on businesses a few weeks ago. Some cities and counties have mandates in place, but they are not enforceable, so they aren't worth the paper they are written on.

Thanks and Utah will maybe be next since citizens are burning masks at the state capitol.
