Todays news of more losses is a heartbreaking reminder of the threat this virus presents, said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary. We extend our sympathy to all of the loved ones impacted by these deaths.

Please note that from June 6-20, 2022, the National Center for Health Statistics will be unable to certify deaths due to a system update affecting all 50 states. This may impact West Virginia's ability to report COVID-19 deaths. The Bureau for Public Healths Office of Epidemiology and Prevention Services will continue to certify and report deaths using the death reconciliation process; however, there may be a decrease in deaths reported during this time period.
