The Alabama Department of Public Health reported 234 deaths from COVID-19 in its daily update on Tuesday, raising the state’s total to 6,896 since the pandemic began.

The figure apparently catches up from deaths that did not show up in reports over the weekend, when there were two deaths listed on Monday and three on Sunday. Earlier last week, the daily updates showed as many as 171. ADPH notes that its daily figures for deaths are not for the current day because it can take two weeks or more for some to be reported and confirmed.

There were 2,900 new cases of the coronavirus in Tuesday’s report, bringing the total for the pandemic to 445,909. The state has averaged 2,767 new cases a day over the past week.

A total of 41,069 people have been hospitalized in Alabama for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic, including 2,285 on Monday.

The Health Department’s latest figure, for the week ended Jan. 23, showed 255,291 doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines had been administered in the state. That represents 49% of the 521,225 doses that had been delivered to Alabama.
