(04/02/2020)
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources said 29 more novel coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the state Wednesday, bringing the current total to 191.

As of April 1, 4,575 residents have been tested for COVID-19 with 4,384 negative results and one death, according to a news release from the DHHR.

State officials provided the following county-by-county positive case totals: Barbour (1), Berkeley (21), Cabell (1), Greenbrier (3), Hancock (6), Hardy (1), Harrison (14), Jackson (11), Jefferson (9), Kanawha (37), Logan (3), Marion (8), Marshall (4), Mason (3), Mercer (2), Monongalia (32), Morgan (1), Ohio (11), Pleasants (1), Preston (3), Putnam (5), Raleigh (3), Randolph (1), Roane (2), Tucker (2), Upshur (1), Wetzel (2), Wirt (1), Wood (2).

There have been some inconsistencies between figures being reported by the state and counties.

DHHR officials said as case surveillance continues at the local health department level, it may reveal that those tested in a certain county may not be a resident of that county, or even the state as an individual in question may have crossed the state border to be tested.
