MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Gov. Kay Ivey’s office says she’s not ruling anything out in her efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19. But as of Wednesday she’s still holding off any statewide stay-home order.
Alabama topped 1,000 confirmed cases of the respiratory illness Wednesday, a milestone that took 18 days from the first identified patient. Some 100,000 to 240,000 deaths are projected in the U.S. before the crisis is over.
Ivey’s office said she was working in consultation with her Coronavirus Task Force and the Alabama Department of Public Health and pointed to “aggressive measures” that have been taken to combat the pandemic’s spread.
