CHARLESTON, W.Va. The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources confirmed 33 new cases of the coronavirus and an additional death caused by the virus in its Sunday morning report.

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 10 a.m., on June 21, 2020, there have been 150,170 total confirmatory laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 2,533 total cases and 89 deaths.

DHHR has confirmed the death of a 74-year old female from Berkeley County. Please join with us in grieving the passing of this West Virginian, said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary.

According to theDHHRs website, there are currently, 770 active cases and 1,674 recovered cases in the state.

In alignment with updated definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dashboard includes probable cases which are individuals that have symptoms and either serologic (antibody) or epidemiologic (e.g., a link to a confirmed case) evidence of disease, but no confirmatory test.

Listed below are the numbers of confirmed and positive cases of COVID-19 per county, according to the DHHRs latest report:

As case surveillance continues at the local health department level, it may reveal that those tested in a certain county may not be a resident of that county, or even the state as an individual in question may have crossed the state border to be tested.

Editors note: The numbers received from the West Virginia DHHR may include cases that have already been resolved. Therefore, these counts may need to be viewed as historical cases, rather than active cases.

Editors note 2: The total number of cases confirmed by the DHHR now includes probable cases, which are individuals that have symptoms and either serologic (antibody) or epidemiologic (e.g., a link to a confirmed case) evidence of disease, but no confirmatory test.
