There have been 88,027,900 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States to date – and that number continues to grow.

In the Dothan metropolitan area, located in Alabama, a total of 39,191 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Adjusted for population, there have been 26,486 confirmed infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 26,906 cases per 100,000 people.

Even though COVID-19 infections per capita are in line with the national average across Dothan , there are parts of the metro area where this is not the case.

The broader Dothan metro area comprises three counties or county equivalents, which can include independent cities — and of them, Henry County has the most COVID-19 cases per capita. So far, there have been a total of 4,898 confirmed infections in Henry County, or 28,603 for every 100,000 people.

A relatively high infection rate does not necessarily mean COVID-19 related fatalities per capita are higher in Henry County than they are across all of the Dothan area, however. There have been a total of 456 coronavirus deaths for every 100,000 people in Henry County, compared to 510 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 across the entire Dothan metro area.

All COVID-19 data used in this story are current as of July 16, 2022.

These are all the counties in Alabama where COVID-19 is slowing (and where it’s still getting worse).
