The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR)
reports
as of 5:00 p.m., on May 13, 2020, there have been 67,110 laboratory results
received for COVID-19, with 1,404 positive, 65,706 negative and 59 deaths.
DHHR
has confirmed the death of a 70-year old male from Kanawha County. “As another West Virginian is lost, we
remember the family in our thoughts,” 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 Berkeley,
Cabell, and Kanawha 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.
