We are at a tipping point. COVID-19 infection rates and hospitalizations continue to climb.
Our cumulative positive rate is now above 5%. 1,518 West Virginians have died. The entire state is a sea of “red” on the DHHR map, showing high infection rates and daily percent positives. Public health is in peril. If we do not stop the spread now, “normal life” will slip further and further from our grasp.
What can we do to turn it around? In short, listen to the science.
Science says we need to test more. We can do this by offering additional daily free testing sites.
