The Alabama Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 transmission level map showing data for each county as of July 29. Red means HIGH, yellow means MEDIUM and green means LOW.
While variants continue to plague Alabama, at least one part of the Covid-19 pandemic is over – mostly.
The Alabama Department of Public Health announced Monday it is ending daily updates to the Covid-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard.
Now, weekly updates will be posted at 11 a.m. Thursdays. Prior to Monday’s announcement, the data was updated each weekday morning.
“As Alabama moves to the next chapter, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) is shifting strategies from emergency response to one that minimizes daily disruptions to our lives,” a statement posted to the dashboard Monday includes.
As of July 29 (the most recent data released), ADPH classified all 10 North Alabama counties as HIGH when it comes to risk of Covid-19 transmission. The majority of the state is in that classification.
