Harrison Remains Yellow on Updated Color Map; Monongalia still Red; Seven Counties are Orange
By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on September 12, 2020 via Connect-Bridgeport.com
The West Virginia Department of Education color warning map used to determine which counties can have in-person learning and what level extra-curricular activities can proceed with for the following week has been updated.
Harrison County remains yellow which means in-school instruction will be allowed for the upcoming week and sporting events will continue with an attendance policy that is limited to parents only.
The yellow warning for Harrison County also means that even if a Bridgeport High School athletic team is playing an away event in a county that is green, the yellow attendance and ticket policies are still in place.
