COVID status now in Red Zone
The COVID-positivity rate in our community is high enough that we must return to the Red Zone. Representatives from our hospitals nd clinics should replace the Green Zone signs at their entrances with the previously provided Red Zone signs. If you are unable to locate your Red Zone signs, please contact Kitsy Bridges at kbridges@health.southalabama.edu. Please save the Green Zone signs for when they are needed in the future.
Reminder: Policies During Red Zone
