CHARLESTON, WV – Gov. Jim Justice joined State health leaders at the Capitol Complex in Charleston today for a virtual press briefing to once again update the public on the many measures being taken in the interest of protecting the public from the spread of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Gov. Jim Justice issued an executive order on Wednesday to include Marion County, along with six other West Virginia counties, as designated areas where local Health Department officials have broader powers to tighten restrictions to prevent further spread of COVID-19 across the state.


“We’ve got another hot spot, Marion County is wedged in between two other counties (Monongalia and Harrison) where we’ve had multiple, confirmed positive cases so I’m including them today,” Gov. Justice said. “I’m going to keep doing everything I can to protect all West Virginians the best we can in the face of this terrible pandemic.”

Gov. Justice did go on to say that the numbers “are still trending in a good way in West Virginia."


“Every day that goes by now is a monumental hurdle, because we know we’re close to being in the eye of the storm, it’s close to being over top of us,” Gov. Justice said. “It still may be five or six days away, or it may be here today, and things could get much uglier,” Gov. Justice said. “We should still be very concerned, but at the same time, we hold hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel and things are going our way and look like it’s going to get better. We’ve still got a long way to go and again none of us really know, only God above does, but I know he’ll get us through this.”
