COVID-19 Daily Update 5-25-2020 - 5 PM

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of 5:00 p.m., on May 25, 2020, there have been 86,872 total confirmatory laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 1,782 total cases and 73 deaths.

DHHR has confirmed the death of a 74-year old male from Mineral County.  “On this Memorial Day, we remember the service of those veterans who have passed away, as well as the seventy-three West Virginians we have recently lost due to COVID-19,” said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary.

In alignment with updated definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dashboard 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.
