The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Friday that 2,057 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s an increase of 147 since the last report and more than double the low point reached earlier this month.
Locally, COVID-19 cases are active in Upshur (28), Barbour (18), Lewis (36), Randolph (18) and Webster (50) counties. In Upshur County, that’s an increase of two active cases in the last 24 hours.
Two additional deaths have been attributed to the disease, according to the DHHR – a 64-year old male from Brooke County and a 42-year old male from Mason County.
