The statewide total of COVID-19 cases in Alabama grew by 481 today, and there were 11 new deaths from the disease.

The Alabama Department of Public Health this morning released figures for COVID-19 cases from 10 a.m. Monday to 10 a.m. Tuesday.

The agency said there have been 21,071 confirmed cases of the disease and 725 deaths since the pandemic began. It listed another 351 probable cases of COVID-19.

The departtment about a week ago changed the way it reported test results for the coronavirus. Cases and deaths are counted as confirmed when test results have verified to be from the virus. Probable cases are ones in which patients have had contact with someone who has the virus and have symptoms of the disease, but a test hasn’t been run to verify the diagnosis or the test results are not back.

Montgomery County once again had the most new cases in comparison to other counties for the 24-hour period. The county reported 93 new cases, raising its total to 2,221. It added two deaths, bringing that total to 56.

Jefferson County followed with 53 new cases, for a total of 2,131. The county reported one additional death, for a total of 110.

Tuscaloosa County’s COVID-19 count also was up, with 40 new cases for a total of 976, but no new deaths to remain at 23.

Mobile County added 26 confirmed cases for a total of 2,487 and two new deaths for a total of 126.

Morgan County reported 34 new cases, raising the total to 395. The North Alabama county has had one death since the pandemic began.
