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 Upshur County in this
report.

Additional report:
As
part of Gov. Jim Justice’s initiative to increase testing opportunities for
minorities and other vulnerable populations, the Governor’s Office, DHHR, the
Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs and the WV National Guard offered
free testing in Ohio,
Putnam and Summers counties, with support from local health departments.
The two-day testing resulted in 1,303 individuals tested: 438 in
Ohio County; 607 in Putnam County; and 258 in Summers County. Please note these
