ORIGINAL REPORT:
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WDHN) — There are now 68 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Alabama.
Three new counties have been added to the list of those affected by the novel coronavirus: Chambers, Talladega, and Walker counties.
However, Houston County is not listed among these numbers of reported cases. This is because the Alabama Department of Public Health only puts the patients with their county of residence, not where they were tested and treated.
As CEO Rick Sutton said Thursday, the patient treated at Southeast Health is not a resident of Houston County.
County of Residence | Cases |
Baldwin | 1 |
Calhoun | 1 |
Chambers | 1 |
Elmore | 5 |
Lee | 10 |
Jefferson | 31 |
Limestone | 1 |
Madison | 1 |
Montgomery | 2 |
