Alabama Governor Kay Ivey extended the state's mask mandate into mid-March Thursday morning as COVID-19 and hospitalizations continue to surge across the state.

Ivey said the extension does not amend the existing Safer at Home Order at all -- it will simply remain in place, unchanged, for six more weeks.
