DHHR: More than 200 COVID-19 cases now active in Randolph County

Editor’s note: Due to changes in the DHHR dashboard, we are now reporting active cases rather than the total daily increase in cases. There will be no updates on weekends or holidays.

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Tuesday that 5,341 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s a decrease of 158 since the last report.

Locally, COVID-19 cases are active in Upshur (32), Barbour (18), Lewis (49), Randolph (213) and Webster (18) counties.

Seven additional deaths have been attributed to the disease, according to the DHHR – a 60-year old female from Cabell County, a 74-year old male from Wood County, a 57-year old female from Kanawha County, a 70-year old male from Fayette County, an 88-year old male from Morgan County, a 72-year old female from Nicholas County, and a 61-year old female from Lincoln County.

The daily percent positive was 5.79%.
