COVID-19 is taking a toll on Calhoun Schools, Superintendent Kelli Whytsell, reporting last week that 63 students, nine teachers and five service personnel have COVID-19.
That number has gone up, with all Calhoun Schools now being closed, going to remote learning.
The state web site says Calhoun has been averaging 19 new cases daily, an uptick of 1,400 percent in 14 days.
In last week's mid-week report, a total of 300 students had been quarantined since school opened, with a total of 230 students currently quarantined.
Last week, the state COVID-19 MAP said 44% of Calhoun residents are fully vaccinated.
The WV-DHHR Dashboard, last week, showing the most recent cases in West Virginia are in two age groups, ages 5-11 and 12-15. Children under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for vaccinations.
