This is the latest update by zip codes. Please keep in mind some towns overlap into different zip codes so a town may be listed more than once. The data is coming from the state website. 32420 (Alford) 47; 32423 (Bascom/Malone) 12; 32426 (Campbellton/Jacob) 21; 32431 (Cottondale/Alford/Jacob City) 97; 32440 (Graceville/Campbellton/GEO reports through Graceville) 739; 32442 (Grand Ridge/Sneads) 52; 32443 (Greenwood) 80; 32445 (Malone/Jackson CI reports through Malone) 122; 32446 (Marianna/Greenwood/Jacob City/ACI reports some through Marianna) 372; 32448 (Marianna, Cottondale) 192; 32460 (Sneads/ACI also reports through Sneads) 236.
We have attempted to verify and re-verify these numbers. They are put in by humans however, and mistakes (like typos) happen. Calls are in place to get a breakdown of the origin of the 46 deaths in Jackson County (Facilities/home/etc) as well as criteria for day care facilities that may have positive cases. We are also attempting to locate any information on a common source of outbreaks outside of the correctional facilities and long-term facilities.
