JUSTICE CLOSES MON COUNTY BARS INDEFINATELY - WVU President Gee Admonishes Students

(09/03/2020)
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is again closing bars in Monongalia County.

This time, Justice says the closure will be “indefinitely,” and begins at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Last month, the governor gave the bars the green light to reopen Monday, Aug. 31.

Sept. 1 county health officials said seven establishments had already received infractions for not following COVID-19 guidelines.

WVU President Gordon Gee admonished students, while hundreds crowded outside Morgantown bars wanting entrance, state media photographing them.
