Covid -19 Count
As the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, so have public health mitigation strategies and guidance. The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources’ Bureau for Public Health continues to transition from universal case and contact tracing to a more strategic approach of targeted case investigations and outbreak investigations. This pivot is an important step as the pandemic moves toward becoming an endemic in West Virginia, and the world.
If you test positive for COVID-19, public health departments will promote self-care education to all positive cases but will no longer conduct universal case investigation and contact tracing, release from quarantine, or return to work letters. Please follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance if you test positive or have been exposed to COVID-19.
With this pivot, Doddridge Co Health Department will no longer be publishing positive COVID-19 numbers for the county. To follow the positive rate, please reference to the WV DHHR website.
For future Information or questions, call the Doddridge County Health Department at 304-873-1531.
