Well over 1,000 Alabamians diagnosed with coronavirus have recovered – according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.

The ADPH hasn’t released in-depth data on the number of patients that have gotten better after a COVID-19 diagnosis, but in a Facebook post stated “preliminary data indicated about 1,200 cases have recovered.”

The ADPH says providing exact numbers on recoveries is difficult, as the department “does not receive hospital discharge information, in turn making it hard to collect all the elements on patients discharged from the hospital with COVID-19. Other information changes daily as some patients are removed from ventilators or ICU in one facility while patients in other facilities are being placed on ventilators or in ICU. Thus, data would be inaccurate.

The ADPH says about 15% of COVID-19 cases in Alabama have required hospitalization.
