The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Tuesday that 2,083 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s a decrease of 438 since the last report on Thursday.

Locally, COVID-19 cases are active in Upshur (30), Barbour (6), Lewis (8), Randolph (122) and Webster (5) counties. In Upshur County, that’s a decrease of two active cases since Thursday.

Seven additional deaths have been attributed to the disease since the report, according to the DHHR – a 73-year old male from Wyoming County, a 44-year old male from Kanawha County, an 84-year old female from Raleigh County, a 62-year old male from Berkeley County, a 78-year old female from Jefferson County, a 76-year old female from Harrison County, and a 76-year old male from Raleigh County.

The daily percent positive was 1.62%.
