Alabama’s COVID-19 totals grew by 2,288 cases and 12 deaths in Sunday’s report by the state Department of Public Health.

That broke a string of five consecutive days for which the number of cases topped 3,000. The state has recorded 269,877 cases of COVID-19 and 3,889 deaths from the disease since the pandemic began in mid-March.

The number of people being treated in Alabama hospitals for the coronavirus dropped slightly, from a record 1,875 on Friday to 1,867 on Saturday.

Despite the drop in the number of cases for the latest 24-hour period, the average number of cases per day over the past week grew to a record 3,235. The figure is up from 2,103 a day one week ago.

The top five counties in number of new cases per 100,000 population over the last 14 days was unchanged in Sunday’s report, although four of them showed increases in the numbers.
