During Friday’s briefing, Gov. Justice joined State health experts in urging all West Virginians to redouble their efforts to follow the best practices recommended by health professionals regarding COVID-19, as case numbers increase nationwide ahead of the upcoming winter months.
“We cannot drop our guard,” Gov. Justice said. “I know everybody is getting tired of wearing a mask and following all of the guidelines. But we need to really stay on top of it and take care of ourselves.”
“When we look around the country, we see the number of cases is picking up,” West Virginia Coronavirus Czar Dr. Clay Marsh said. “Yesterday we had 71,000 positive cases in the United States, which is a three-month high." |
