The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 5:00 p.m., on July 23,
2020, there have been 250,942 total confirmatory laboratory
results received for COVID-19, with 5,550 total cases and 103 deaths.
DHHR
has confirmed the death of a 55-year old female from Mason County. “Deepest
sympathies are extended to the family for their loss,” said Bill J. Crouch,
Cabinet Secretary of DHHR.
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 Hampshire and McDowell
counties in this report.

note that delays may be experienced with the reporting of information from the
