FROM THE HARRISON-CLARKSBURG HEALTH DEPARTMENT

 

The Harrison-Clarksburg Health Department regrettably announces the 9th death of a Harrison County resident related to COVID-19.  Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family at this difficult time.  The deceased is a 94 year old male, who recently resided at the Genesis (Salem) Nursing Facility.  

 

The Harrison-Clarksburg Health Department continues to strongly encourage our community to wear face coverings, that may include masks, avoid close contacts while social distancing (staying 6 feet apart), avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and covering your coughs and sneezes. Employing these measures is the best way to protect yourself, your family and the community.  Most importantly, be aware and display these measures with extra emphasis when in the presence of our most vulnerable, those with pre-existing conditions and the elderly
