Major Spike In COVID-19 Cases Across Alexander County…Updated

November 3, 2020 By Richard C. Gilbert

The Alexander County Health Department has reported that 154 people are in quarantine with COVID-19.

The number in quarantine includes 58 inmates at the Alexander Correctional Institution. Twenty-three (23) people are in the hospital.

There have been 10 deaths associated with the virus.

Of 973 total cases, 786 people have recovered.

Leeanne Whisnant, Consolidated Human Services Director, presented a report at the November 2nd meeting of the Alexander County Board of Commissioners, noting that there has been a “tremendous increase in the last few weeks,” with clusters at the prison, a funeral, churches, and a private school*.

The county encourages everyone to practice the 3 W’s: wear a mask, wait six feet apart, and wash your hands.

*Not a school in the Alexander County Public School System.
