The West Virginia Department of Health and
Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 10:00 a.m., on August 3,
2020, there have been 294,902 total confirmatory
laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 6,973 total
cases and 117 deaths.
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 Brooke and Randolph counties in this report.

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.
