The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR)
reports as of 5:00 p.m., on June 12, 2020, there have been 125,773 total
confirmatory
laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 2,249 total
cases and 88 deaths.
DHHR
has confirmed the deaths of a 73-year old male from Mingo County and a 78-year
old male from Berkeley County. “We are deeply saddened by this news, a
loss to both the family and our state,” said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet
Secretary.
In
alignment with updated definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the dashboard 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.

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 Barbour County in this
report.
