MORGANTOWN - Under the quiet surface of near-stilled campuses over the past year, West Virginia University researchers, faculty and administrators have scrambled to learn more about COVID-19 and mitigate its spread, calculated how to teach online and hybrid classes and figured out how to better ensure people on those campuses could remain safe from the virulent disease that has killed more than 500,000 U. S. citizens to date.
In keeping with its land-grant mission, WVU shared its findings with the state of West Virginia and has discovered paths for future endeavors so that ultimately, students on the Morgantown, Keyser and Beckley campuses will benefit from the pandemic’s lessons.

MORGANTOWN West Virginia University on Saturday said it had confirmed three cases of the COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 in the Morgantown area, and two are WVU students.
Genetic sequencing of samples from the WVU Medicine testing program detected the B.1.1.7 variant in Morgantown campus test samples analyzed this week.
The variant is currently referred to as the UK variant. WVU said it is working closely with the Monongalia County Health Department in its case investigation and contact tracing.
It is believed that the three individuals who have tested positive for the variant are related to one another and have not visited the WVU campus during their infectious period.
