Alabama, Georgia, and Texas accounted for a third of the nation's COVID-19 deaths last week, according to data from Johns Hopkins University released on Tuesday.

Nearly 10,000 people died from complications related to the coronavirus. One of three of each fatalities occurred in Alabama, Texas or Georgia. This follows news that Alabama’s death rate from COVID-19 exceeded the state’s birth rate in 2020.

Alabama’s population is taking a hit following the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The state saw over 64,000 deaths compared to under 58,000 births. Alabama’s leading health official Scott Harris provided the numbers of births and deaths in a press briefing last Friday. Harris said the state population is down and by quite a large margin.

This comes as under 52% of Alabamians have received one or more coronavirus vaccines compared to only 41% of residents who are fully vaccinated. Alabama is continuing to see a 7-day average of 3,100 coronavirus cases and 76 deaths per week, according to information from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
