Several Counties Face New Restrictions

Gov. Jim Justice expanded his coronavirus hot spot restrictions to Marion County this week after the area reported a jump in cases. The governor had previously strengthened existing virus protocols in Berkeley, Jefferson, Morgan, Harrison, Monongalia and Kanawha counties after they emerged as virus clusters that make up most of the state’s growing caseload. In those counties, the governor has directed local health departments to establish maximum occupancy rules for stores, urged businesses to have employees work from home and limited gatherings to no more than five people. State police will help the counties enforce the rules.
