The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 5:00 p.m., on June 5,
2020, there have been 108,453 total confirmatory laboratory results received
for COVID-19, with 2,119 total cases and 84 deaths.
DHHR confirmed the deaths of a
75-year old male from Berkeley County and an 84-year old female from Pendleton
County. “As we extend our deepest sympathies to the loved ones, we also
encourage all West Virginians to take every precaution to prevent the spread of
this disease,” 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 Jefferson, Mercer, Nicholas and Wyoming counties in this report.
