PM TUESDAY: ANOTHER COVID-19 DEATH - 16 New Cases, Numbers Dropping To Re-Open Says Governor

(04/29/2020)
Another COVID-19-related death has been reported in West Virginia, bringing the state’s overall death total to 38.

The state Department of Health and Human Resources confirmed in a news release Tuesday the death of a 50-year old woman from Jefferson County.

Meanwhile, the state’s overall positive virus test rate remained below 3 percent for the second consecutive day. At 5 p.m., the rate of positive tests compared to the amount of tests given was at 2.64%. The latest numbers are significant because Gov.

The state’s overall number of positive cases increased 16 from Tuesday morning, with a total of 1,095.

According to the DHHR, 504 people have recovered. The latest statistics show that 102 are hospitalized, with 21 on a ventilator in the intensive care unit and 19 in ICU.

More than 41,500 tests have been given.
