West Virginia Set To Pause In-Person Classes

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – More counties in West Virginia are likely to end in-person classes a week after reopening schools. Children returned to classes Tuesday in all but nine of West Virginia’s 55 counties, based on a color-coded map that tracks the severity of the virus’s spread. Counties that were marked red and orange could only hold virtual classes until they turned yellow or green. Gov. Jim Justice announced on Friday that schools in counties that started the school year in green or yellow but move into orange will also need to go virtual-only. Previously, such schools could still offer face-to-face instruction unless they turned red.
