“As
we celebrate this holiday, many West Virginians have lost loved ones, have
loved ones who are sick, or may be sick themselves, while others are coping
with separation from friends and family as we stay distanced,” said Bill J.
Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary. “Our hearts go out to those who have been
affected by this pandemic and to those who may be experiencing increased
anxiety or depression. Please check on your family or friends.”

Delays may be experienced with the reporting of
information from the local health department to DHHR. 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.
The total number of vaccines received and
administered is shown on the Dashboard Overview page and is included on the
daily dashboard update. Please visit the dashboard located at www.coronavirus.wv.gov for more information.
Free COVID-19 testing is available daily to all West Virginia
residents. Please visit https://dhhr.wv.gov/COVID-19/pages/testing.aspx to view the testing site map and location list.
