The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR)
reports
as of 5:00 p.m., on May 11, 2020, there have been 64,165 laboratory results
received for COVID-19, with 1,369 positive, 62,796 negative and 57 deaths.
DHHR
has confirmed the deaths of a 70-year old female from Jackson County, an 89-year
old male from Kanawha County, and a 56-year old female from Nicholas County. “It’s
with great sadness that we announce three more deaths as a result of COVID-19,”
said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary.
These are considered official
numbers reported to the state, which will in turn, be reported
to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Delays may be
experienced with the reporting of cases and deaths from the local health
department to the state health department.

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. Such is the case of Fayette, Mineral,
Ohio, and Putnam counties in this report.

been developed regarding case counts and can be found here.
The number of
laboratory results received refers to the number of tests performed and
completed, not the number of residents tested as some individuals have had
multiple samples taken for COVID-19 tests.
