Does ADPH report a case when the resident lives out of state?
Non-residents will not be listed in our case counts. In the event we have a resident from another state test positive in our state, we notify the health department in their resident state and that state and the CDC counts the person as a case in the resident's state. This information is from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. (CSTE). Total Tested provided on the Alabama COVID-19 Table and the Alabama COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard includes test results from persons who were tested in Alabama but do not reside in Alabama. This is the only data provided on the Dashboard that includes persons from other states.
