HOOVER — The South Haven Health and Rehabilitation facility in Hoover announced on Thursday that 36 people within the building have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Joe Perkins, a spokesman for Northport Health Services, said that 17 residents and 19 employees tested positive for the virus. The facility received permission from the state to test each resident and employee, which was a blessing as asymptomatic employees would have not been tested under the current guidelines. Perkins said it took eight to 14 days to get some of the results back.
