There were 700 new cases of COVID-19 in Alabama on Friday, making the fourth consecutive day with a count below the 1,000 mark, the state Department of Public Health reported.

That brought the number of confirmed cases of the disease to 102,196 since the pandemic began in March. There were four deaths in the latest 24-hour period, raising the state’s toll to 1,825. The agency’s COVID Dashboard said another 4,061 cases and 69 deaths were listed as probably associated with the disease.
