Alabama

The number of novel coronavirus cases in Alabama has now reached 13,058, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health’s 1 p.m. EST Thursday update.

The number of reported cases in Lee County stands at 461, while Russell County’s total stands at 116.

There have been 164,450 tests done statewide. Private labs are not required to report negative tests — meaning it’s possible that the actual number of tests conducted is greater.

The state reports 528 COVID-19-related deaths Friday evening and 1,528 hospitalizations.
