| The US confirmed coronavirus cases hitting 11 million.
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources confirmed 801 new COVID-19 cases and three additional deaths in its report on Monday, as the number of cases in the state continue to rise.
Gov. Jim Justice is facing backlash over tightening COVID-19 requirements.
Anti-mask activists' claims that he's acting like a 'communist or a dictator.'
Justice said those in the state who believe their constitutional rights are being threatened by his mandate that orders everyone to wear a mask in public buildings are just being âsilly.â
âIt is just silly believing we are stripping away your constitutional freedoms,â Justice said during a news conference Monday, âItâs just ridiculous, or the next thing they are going to get our guns â it is preposterous beyond belief.â
