There is an outbreak at the Wayne Farms plant in Bullock County. Almost a 100 new cases since Friday in that county.

Sure there are cases that are just spread through the community at large but stands to reason that the ones of those infecting many more people are likely when those people go to work.
The one factory I know about in Alabama has had cases since April but even through a lot of measures to stop it has not yet been able to do so.

There must be a handful of micro-outbreaks like this one driving the statewide case count up, because the last couple days we've added a ton of cases relative to the norm. Difficult to pinpoint where exactly based on the dashboard data, but Bullock, Butler, Elmore, Montgomery, Morgan, Tuscaloosa, Walker, & Winston counties have seen cases explode in the past 14 days.
The thing is, hospitalization rates have remained relatively flat since mid April, so I suspect the outbreaks are workplace related like the one you referenced, as the working population is far less likely to have serious complications than, say, a senior care facility.
