GOVERNOR JUSTICE: DELTA VARIANT IS “EVERYWHERE”

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice says the Delta variant is fueling the recent surge of COVID cases in West Virginia. The governor reported that the variant makes up 91-percent of new cases in the state during a briefing Monday, and said those who are not vaccinated are taking a “hell of a risk.” There are currently more than four-thousand active cases of the virus in West Virginia. Fifty-six-percent of residents are fully vaccinated.
