Ohio County Reports 86th COVID-19 Death

The Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department reported a new COVID-19-related death for the second straight night Thursday. That brought the county’s total to 86 related deaths since the pandemic began.

The department also announced 13 new positive COVID cases in its Thursday night update, bringing that total to 4,313.

WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital will cut back on the hours of its off-site COVID testing center starting Monday. From that point, the center’s hours will be 9 a.m.-noon, Monday through Friday. This Saturday will be the last Saturday the center is open for testing.

The drive-through center is located at the former Harmony House, next to Valley Professional Center South at the old OVMC. To reach the site, those being tested will drive up 22nd Street to behind the old Valley Professional Center South, turn left at the top of the hill and follow the signs.

Those wishing to be tested must first pre-register. A convenient way to do that is to go to WheelingHospital.org and click on COVID-19 Testing – Register Here. Those unable to register online may also call the hotline at 304-221-3995.

The Marshall County Health Department reported seven new confirmed positive and three new probable cases in its Thursday night update. The department is sending people to the Department of Health and Human Resources website for its latest numbers, which were 2,462 confirmed cases, 890 probable cases and 76 related deaths.

Marshall County fell to gold Thursday on the DHHR COVID-19 alert map. Hancock and Ohio counties were green, the map’s safest category, while Brooke County was yellow, the second-safest category.
