COVID-19 Daily Update 5-26-2020 - 5 PM

5/26/2020

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 5:00 p.m., on May 26, 2020, there have been 87,811 total confirmatory laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 1,854 total cases and 74 deaths.

 

The death of a 75-year old male from Preston County has been confirmed. “Our sincere condolences are extended to this gentleman’s family,” said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary.

 

In alignment with updated definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dashboard now includes probable cases which are individuals that have symptoms and either serologic (antibody) or epidemiologic (e.g., a link to a confirmed case) evidence of disease, but no confirmatory test.
