The
West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports
as of 10:00 a.m., on September 6, 2020, there have been 458,180 total confirmatory laboratory results received
for COVID-19, with 11,412 total cases and 246 deaths.
DHHR
has confirmed the deaths of an 81-year old male from Kanawha County, an 83-year old female from
Logan County, and a 68-year old male from Monroe County. “As
many West Virginians are growing tired of the thought of COVID-19, we must,
more than ever, stay vigilant in our efforts to prevent further spread and
realize that the virus is among us,” said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet
Secretary. “We extend our sympathies to these families for their profound loss.”

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