The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Thursday that 4,084 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s a decrease of 245 since the last report.

Locally, COVID-19 cases are active in Upshur (54), Barbour (17), Lewis (28), Randolph (240) and Webster (40) counties. In Upshur County, that’s an increase of five active cases in the last 24 hours.

Seven additional deaths have been attributed to the disease in the last 24 hours, according to the DHHR – a 75-year old female from Monongalia County, a 69-year old female from Tyler County, a 66-year old male from Raleigh County, a 67-year old male from Harrison County, a 61-year old male from Tyler County, a 64-year old female from Harrison County, and a 49-year old male from Raleigh County.
