Florida is topping the list with 14 cases, Texas has 11 confirmed cases, California has six, New York has five, and Oregon has had two. Now, authorities just have just confirmed that the first case has just been identified in the state of Alabama.

Now, it is being reported that four other people have been tested and are awaiting results. Dr. Tom Miller, a state health officer, has claimed that he is surprised that more people in Alabama have not been infected. Given the frequency of international travel to affected areas, we anticipate having additional positive cases, he told reporters. We are working with the medical community to identify high-risk individuals. In total, the virus has spread to 20 states, as well as Washington DC. Has your state been affected by the virus?
