The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Monday that 3,525 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s a decrease of 364 since the last report.

Locally, COVID-19 cases are active in Upshur (55), Barbour (14), Lewis (13), Randolph (231) and Webster (11) counties. In Upshur County, the number of active cases stayed at the same level as reported Friday.

Eight additional deaths were attributed to the disease over the weekend, according to the DHHR – a 73-year old male from Kanawha County, a 71-year old male from Wood County, a 75-year old male from Mineral County, an 88-year old female from Wood County, a 55-year old male from Morgan County, a 75-year old female from Monongalia County, a 66-year old female from Barbour County, and a 72-year old male from Kanawha County.
