MERCER COUNTY (WVVA) -- Mercer County entered the orange category on the states' County Alert System Wednesday following a 7-day upward trend in daily average cases.
According to the West Virginia Department of Education's Re-entry Metrics, counties with orange or red levels on September 8th, 2020 will not be permitted to open to in-person instruction until yellow or green levels are reached.
Counties in the orange category, however, can continue athletic practices.
Each county will be evaluated on Saturday nights at 9 p.m. to determine if schools in that county can open for that week. This will also determine the level of athletic and extracurricular activities that are permitted.
Counties that go into the orange category after the first day of school can still provide in-person instruction with increased mitigation efforts.
