Justice said that 49 hospitals in the state are doing tests, 19 communities are set up to do community-based testing and at least 1,500 tested people have been tested.

Justice has asked state health officials to do daily inventories on available hospital beds.

Justice ordered that cabins and restrooms at state parks will be closed Monday, but that trails and other outdoor recreation areas will remain open.

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) released the following statement after Governor Justice declared the stay-at-home order for West Virginia.

“This afternoon Governor Justice made the decision to place West Virginia under a stay-at-home order beginning at 8pm on Tuesday, March 24th. I urge every West Virginian to abide by this order. We must come together to do the difficult things required to slow the spread of COVID-19. This outbreak is serious and the only option is to fight it together. West Virginians have always taken care of one another and right now that means staying at home unless absolutely necessary,” said Senator Manchin.
