The West Virginia Department of Health and
Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 10:00 a.m., on August 11,
2020, there have been 330,447 total confirmatory
laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 7,875 total
cases and 147 deaths.
DHHR has confirmed the deaths of a
72-year old female from Logan County, a 71-year old female from Wyoming County,
an 89-year old female from Mercer County, an 82-year old female from Mercer
County, an 89-year old female from Grant County, and an 83-year old female from
Grant County. “As
this pandemic continues, it doesn’t get any easier to report the deaths of our
residents. Our sincere condolences are extended to these families,” 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 Lewis and McDowell
counties in this report.
Please
note that delays may be experienced with the reporting of information from the
local health department to DHHR. Visit

On July 24,
2020, Gov. Jim Justice announced that DHHR, the agency in charge of reporting
the number of COVID-19 cases will transition from providing twice-daily updates
to one report every 24 hours. This became
effective August 1, 2020.
