Are you receiving results from the drive-thru testing centers? How quickly are those results coming in?
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) gets results from the health department lab and commercial labs. An emergency rule was passed on March 6 that placed SARS-CoV-2 on the list of notifiable diseases for 120 days. This means by law, healthcare providers and labs are to notify ADPH within 4 hours of a presumptive case. This emergency rule re: Alabama Notifiable Diseases/Conditions from March 6 and other emergency actions taken by state agencies as they participate in Alabama's response to COVID-19 can be found on the ADPH General Counsel website.
