PM SUNDAY: GILMER REPORTS FIRST TWO CASES |
| (04/27/2020) |
| The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources reports as of 5 p.m., April 26, there have been 39,184 laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 1,053 positive, 38,131 negative and 34 deaths. The increase in the number of lab reports today is due to the onboarding of electronic lab reporting from a large number of facilities and the receipt of historical negative lab results from those facilities. These are considered official numbers reported to the state, which will in turn, be reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Medical providers and laboratories are required to report positive test results to DHHR. Delays may be experienced with the reporting of cases and deaths from the local health department to the state health department. Its not uncommon for the local level to report case numbers first and then officially report it to the state. State confirmed cases per county include: Barbour 4 Berkeley 131 Boone 2 Braxton 2 Brooke 4 Cabell 40 Fayette 9 Gilmer 2 Grant 1 Greenbrier 3 Hampshire 7 Hancock 8 Hardy 3 Harrison 30 Jackson 127 Jefferson 71 Kanawha 153 Lewis 3 Lincoln 1 Logan 12 Marion 45 Marshall 11 Mason 11 McDowell 6 Mercer 9 Mineral 15 Mingo 2 Monongalia 101 Monroe 5 Morgan 9 Nicholas 6 Ohio 26 Pendleton 3 Pleasants 2 Preston 13 Putnam 18 Raleigh 8 Randolph 4 Roane 4 Summers 1 Taylor 6 Tucker 4 Tyler 3 Upshur 4 Wayne 82 Wetzel 3 Wirt 3 Wood 35 Wyoming 1 |
