West Virginia high schools to reopen full-time; summer camps, live music to resume

WVVA News

WEST VIRGINIA (WVVA) - Governor Jim Justice is again lifting COVID-19 restrictions in the Mountain State.

In a Wednesday press briefing, Justice reported that the DHHR County Alert System map will no longer dictate school operations. All West Virginia high schools will be open full time - unless there is a "significant, active outbreak."

"Really and truly, this map has outlived its time now," he said. "We need to move forward."

State health officer Dr. Ayne Amjad said closures due to outbreaks will be decided by local health departments and school boards.

he actually was doing mostly the right thing about the pandemic. The fact is even responsible governors have pretty much given up the ghost on much of this. My state is opening schools with full attendance except those who are staying home voluntarily in many counties.
