April 12, 2021 Group Watch: COVID-19 Cases & Hospitalizations Down in AL

Alabama’s coronavirus number have shown incredible improvement from their dangerous highs in early January, and the state is hitting some important pandemic safety benchmarks for the first time. The state has averaged 196 new cases each day for the last week, down 94 percent from the average of 3,080 new cases per day on the week ending January 11. Alabama’s hospitals had 317 coronavirus patients as of last Thursday, down roughly 90 percent from the capacity-threatening peak of 3,084 on January 11. The state’s new case numbers have continued to fall in recent weeks, even as a number of states in the Northeast and Sun Belt regions of the country have seen upticks. Governor Ivey said of the pandemic, “Thank the good lord we’re in the home stretch.”
