The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Friday that 3,889 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s decrease of 195 since the last report and the first time active cases have dropped below 4,000 since last September.

Locally, COVID-19 cases are active in Upshur (55), Barbour (19), Lewis (19), Randolph (240) and Webster (41) counties. In Upshur County, that’s an increase of one active case in the last 24 hours.

Six additional deaths have been attributed to the disease, according to the DHHR – a 75-year old male from Mercer County, a 66-year old male from Monongalia County, a 54-year old male from Nicholas County, a 40-year old female from Kanawha County, 62-year old male from Taylor County, and a 93-year old male from Barbour County.

“The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of June 4, 2021, there have been 2,939,109 total confirmatory laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 162,232 total cases and 2,813 deaths,” according to a press release.

The daily percent positive was 2.15%.

A total of 742,582 people have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in West Virginia, meaning they have received both doses of the vaccine, the DHHR said. That’s about 41% of the state.
