For the second day in a row, the number of new cases of COVID-19 has increased in Alabama — barely — though they still remain well below those from a month ago.

There were 422 new cases in Friday’s report from the Alabama Department of Public Health. That’s one more case than the day before, but it’s the second-highest day in the past two weeks. The 7-day moving average is up to 319.86 per day, a number that has trended higher over seven days.

Three deaths were reported Friday, all of them from Jefferson County. After higher numbers earlier in April, the 7-day and 14-day averages have dropped to levels last seen in October.

So far, 521,623 Alabamians have been infected by the coronavirus and 10,739 people have died as a result.

Hospitals reported 332 COVID-19 inpatients as of Thursday. The total has surpassed the 7-day average of 318.86.

Jefferson County reported five new cases on Thursday.
