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 Mason 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 Harrison,
McDowell and Ohio counties, with support from local health departments
and community partners.
The
two-day testing resulted in 999 individuals tested in Harrison County; 96 in McDowell County; and 553 in Ohio County. Please note these are
considered preliminary numbers.
