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 Greenbrier, Lincoln, Monroe and Upshur counties in this report.
Please
note that delays may be experienced with the reporting of information from the
local health department to DHHR.
