The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR)
reports as of 5:00 p.m., on July 15, 2020, there have been 217,786
total confirmatory
laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 4,557 total
cases and 98 deaths.
DHHR has confirmed the death of a 77-year
old male from Wood County. “The
passing of this West Virginian is reported with great sadness and we extend our
sympathies to his loved ones,” 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.
