The Alabama Department of Public Health confirms there are now 720 cases of coronavirus and three virus-related deaths in Alabama. There are new reports of additional coronavirus related deaths in the state, but the ADPH has yet to confirm.

Jefferson County has the most cases per county with 214, while Shelby has 72 cases. These numbers were updated at 7:45 p.m. on Saturday, March 28.

There’s no way of telling how many cases will be confirmed in Alabama, but the state began taking precautions on March 13 when the second case was confirmed. Thursday, March 26, Gov. Kay Ivey announced all public schools will close for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Students will move to online or distance learning.

The ADPH reports 4,755 people have been tested, but adds total tested primarily represents tests that were satisfactorily performed by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) Bureau of Clinical Laboratories (BCL), along with some data from commercial labs. Commercial labs are required, by law, to report positive tests to ADPH. Some commercial labs do not report negative specimens.

According to Dr. Scott Harris, the age range for patients is less than 1 year to 97-years-old.
