(03/26/2020)
Officials said a West Virginia nursing home with at least 20 coronavirus cases has become "ground zero" for the state's growing caseload.

Sundale medical director Carl Shrader says the nursing home in Morgantown has 16 residents and four staffers testing positive as of Wednesday morning, with 50 other tests still pending.

State health officials said West Virginia's cases nearly doubled Tuesday to at least 39, most of them in Monongalia County where the nursing home is located.
