W.Va. school color map updated; 2 orange, 4 red and 3 gold
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources and the West Virginia Department of Education released an update to the County Alert System map that determines what schools will be learning remotely for the upcoming.
Two counties are orange according the the updated map, Boone and Monangalia counties. This means these cannot return to in person instruction, competitions or sports practice, but sports can condition this coming week.
An orange label now indicates the county has from 15 to 24.9 cases per 100,000 people on a seven day rolling average. Previously, before the change last Tuesday, the label orange meant a county had over 10 cases per 100,000.
Three counties including Logan Wyoming, and Ohio are labeled gold.

Hit the link if you want to view the map. I couldn't figure out how to share it here. Previously, Monangalia County was our only one that was red - the highest level. That's where WVU is located. Now Monangalia has been downgraded to orange while four others have been upgraded to red.
A caviat: I think Governor Justice is manipulating the map so that it will look like we are better off than we are.
