More than 500 Alabama health care workers infected with COVID-19

The number of health care workers who have tested positive for COVID-19 continues to rise in Alabama.

At least 500 Alabama health care workers who work at hospitals and doctor’s offices have tested positive for the virus, the Alabama Department of Public Health says.

Data released Saturday shows the number rose to 504 by April 10.

A week ago, Gov. Kay Ivey said 200 health care workers had tested positive. The number has increased from 315 on Monday to 504 by Friday, an increase of 60 percent in five days.
