The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR)
reported
at 10:00 a.m., on April 29, 2020, the positive case count for COVID-19 was 1,095,
which was also the
number reported in the 5:00 p.m. report on Tuesday, April 28, 2020. Some
of the county specific totals changed from Tuesday to Wednesday, as some counties
increased and some decreased, but the net gain and loss ended up canceling each
other out, so the total count remained at 1,095.
As case
surveillance continues at the local health department level, it may reveal that
those tested in a certain county may not be a resident of that county, or even
the state as an individual in question may have crossed the state border to be
tested. This is the case of Kanawha and
Monongalia counties as explained below.
Hancock and Roane counties saw an increase in their cases from the
previous reporting period.
Hancock County experienced an increase of two
cases: eight cases were reported on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, and 10 cases were
reported on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Kanawha County saw a decrease of two
cases: 157 cases on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 to 155 cases on Wednesday, April
29, 2020, due to those individuals not being a resident of that county or the
state. Monongalia County decreased by one case: 103 on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 to
102 Wednesday, April 29, 2020, also due to case surveillance revealing the
individual was not a resident of that county or the state. Roane County saw an
increase of one case from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning.
