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 Fayette, Harrison, Randolph, 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. Data is published daily at 10 a.m. on the
