The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of February 13, 2021, there have been 2,053,636 total confirmatory laboratory results received for COVID-19, with 127,282 total cases and 2,201 total deaths.

 

The reporting from December 22, 2020 of an 83-year old female from Hampshire County has been determined to be an error and therefore reduced the total deaths to 2,199 prior to today’s report.

DHHR has confirmed the deaths of a 79-year old female from Berkeley County and a 93-year old male from Preston County. “Our heart goes out to these West Virginians and their families,” said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary. “Please continue taking every precaution to slow the spread of this horrible disease.”

Delays may be experienced with the reporting of information from the local health department to DHHR. 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. Such is the case of Barbour, Doddridge, and Hardy counties in this report.

West Virginians may now pre-register for their COVID-19 vaccination at vaccinate.wv.gov. The COVID-19 dashboard located at www.coronavirus.wv.gov shows the total number of vaccines administered. Please see the vaccine summary tab for more detailed information.
