West Virginia reports 1,854 active COVID cases, 12 new deaths on Tuesday

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced Tuesday that 1,854 cases of COVID-19 are currently active in the Mountain State. That’s a decrease of 135 since the last report. 

Locally, reported active case totals are: Upshur (23), Barbour (21), Lewis (16), Randolph (18) and Webster (5) counties. In Upshur County, that’s a decrease of three active cases in the last 24 hours. 

Twelve additional deaths have been attributed to the disease, according to the DHHR – a 91-year old female from Fayette County, an 82-year old male from Kanawha County, an 83-year old male from Fayette County, a 93-year old male from Harrison County, a 74-year old male from Fayette County, a 48-year old male from Mercer County, an 88-year old female from Ohio County, an 85-year old female from Wyoming County, a 60-year old male from Cabell County, a 93-year old female from Ohio County, an 87-year old female from Ohio County, and a 70-year old female from Randolph County. 

Please note that the National Center for Health Statistics will be unable to certify deaths from June 6-20 due to a system update affecting all 50 states. This will result in a decrease in deaths reported during this time period. 

“The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of June 14, 2022, there are currently 1,854 active COVID-19 cases statewide. There have been 12 deaths reported since the last report, with a total of 7,013 deaths attributed to COVID-19,” according to a press release. 

About 203 residents are hospitalized with the virus (52% unvaccinated, 48% vaccinated), with 25 currently in intensive care (52% unvaccinated, 48% vaccinated) and four on a ventilator (100% unvaccinated, 0% vaccinated). The daily percent positive was 11.80%. 

A total of 980,541 people have been vaccinated for COVID-19 in West Virginia, the DHHR said.  That’s about 55% of the state. About 510,054 booster doses have been administered.
