Of the 16 positive cases in Hardy County, the vast majority are quarantined at home. Only two people are known to be hospitalized. Three have recovered.
The Hardy County Health Department has completed the necessary contact tracing to prevent additional transmission.

As case surveillance continues at the local health department level, it may reveal that those tested in a certain county may not be a resident of that county, or even the state as an individual in question may have crossed the state border to be tested. Such is the case of Monongalia County in this report.
