Bridge Day 2021 will move forward after a committee voted to continue with the event despite COVID concerns. Bridge Day will be held Oct. 16 after the committee denied a motion to cancel it. Governor Jim Justice also said during his Wednesday briefing that he supported the idea of having Bridge Day saying that State Police and DOH would help in any way they could. With a large crowd in a small area, a nurse raised concerns that the event could cause more strain on health care workers and space in hospitals. Gov. Justice, on the other hand, says if football games and other events are still happening, Bridge Day should be able to as well.
