MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Schools in Mon County will go virtual until the the end of the fall semester or January 20, according to superintendent Dr. Eddie Campbell. On WAJR’s Talk of the Town Campbell said the decision was made to provide clarity and safety to families and staff.
“Our numbers continue to rise. Yesterday when the map changed we were at the highest infection rate that we’ve seen since the pandemic started,” Dr. Campbell said,” Our daily positivity rate was almost at 7.”
The spike experienced across the state following the Thanksgiving holiday raises concerns. Now, with multiple holiday events approaching and many people opting to travel the decision is out of caution.
