TALLADEGA COUNTY, Ala. – The state’s confirmed COVID-19 cases continue to rise.
Alabama began Wednesday morning with over 1,000 cases. As of 10:50 a.m., the state sits at 1,013.
The ADPH is reporting 26 deaths, but can only confirm 17 are from the virus.
“Reported Deaths” and “Died From Illness” represent the number of individuals who have a positive lab result and are now deceased. To count a person who died from COVID-19 disease, the medical record of the deceased person has to be reviewed by a physician and Infectious Disease and Outbreak staff. Once review is complete, if the death is attributed to COVID-19, the individual will also appear in Died From Illness. Reported Death totals are cumulative and will never decrease.
Talladega Co. has seven confirmed cases with no deaths.
