By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on January 14, 2022

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources is reporting as of this morning (Friday, Jan. 14) the total number of  COVID-19 cases has increased from 372,674 to 377,735; an increase of 5,061 over the previous 24 hours.

Please note that 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. 
 
The total number of deaths related to the coronavirus is at 5,516 with 13 deaths reported during the previous 24 hours.
 
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reports as of January 14, 2022, there are currently 17,364 COVID-19 cases statewide. There have been 13 deaths reported since the last report, with a total of 5,516 deaths attributed to COVID-19.
