  • COVID-19 In West Virginia (Part 4)
    2020/03/31
    West Virginia Governor Jim Justice closes all state park campgrounds as West Virginia suffers its first death from COVID-19. State officials praise residents as the data continues to look good.

    West Virginia suffered its first coronavirus-related death this week. The 88-year-old Marion County woman died in a Clarksburg hospital on Sunday. Justice officially announced her passing in his March 30 press briefing.

    At the same briefing, Justice also announced the closure of the Blackwater Falls and Coopers Rock overlook areas, along with all state park campgrounds. He said these measures were specifically to prevent people from crossing into West Virginia from other states and congregating there during the state of emergency.

    Additionally, Justice issued an executive order that anyone coming into the state from hotspot areas — Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and China were all specifically mentioned — must remain in quarantine for 14 days.

    West Virginia currently has 124 confirmed positive cases out of about 3,000 tests. This leaves the state’s positive test rate at 4%.

    All health officials on Justice’s ad hoc Coronavirus committee see this as a positive indicator that West Virginia will be able to gather a significant quantity of supplies before hospitals are overwhelmed. Nevertheless, all are encouraging residents to stay the course and not give up on social distancing.

  • COVID-19 In West Virginia (Part 2)
    2020/03/24
    Governor Jim Justice announced the closure of all non-essential businesses and issued a stay-home order during a press conference Monday. The move was prompted by a positive test from the Sundale Nursing Home in Morgantown.

    The state has also seen its first case of “community transmission”. Until now, all cases of COVID-19 in West Virginia could be traced back to an identifiable source. “Community transmissions” refer to people who contracted COVID-19 from an unknown carrier.

    Governor Justice was quick to point out that a stay-at-home order is not martial law. Some businesses will be considered essential, including Human care and health services, grocery stores, pharmacies and food production are all included, among others.
