More than 200 people in West Virginia are being asked to quarantine themselves and watch for symptoms after a gym-goer tested positive for COVID-19.

7:12 a.m.: Trump secures half a million treatment courses of remdesivir

The deal between the Trump administration and California-based drugmaker Gilean Sciences allows U.S. hospitals to purchase remdesivir in amounts allocated by the Department of Human and Health Services as well as state health departments. The positive case is a client of Planet Fitness on Fort Pierpont Drive in Morgantown, and the Monongalia County Health Department is now urging members who were there between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. local time on June 24 to stay home for 14 days since being exposed. An estimated 205 people were at the gym during that window of time.

West Virginia has seen an uptick in coronavirus infections in recent weeks. In the past 10 days, the Mountain State has reported an increase of about 400 COVID-19 cases. In the 10 days prior to that, the case count climbed by about 240, according to health officials. Just five new deaths were reported in New York state on Saturday -- the lowest single-day increase since March 15. The statewide death toll now stands at 24,830, according to Cuomo.

Five of the new cases were imported from overseas while seven were cases of domestic transmission in Beijing, where more than 8 million of the city's 21 million residents have been tested for the novel coronavirus in recent weeks. The Chinese capital has seen a recent spike in infections, though the number of new cases reported there on Monday was down by half from the previous day, according to China's National Health Commission.

All due to riots and protests endorsed by Democrats. Be careful who u vote for.

Because masks don't do 💩. If COVID was so dangerous, why aren't there dead homeless everywhere?!? Do you think everyone is wearing a mask in LA homeless encampments? Exercise some critical thought and stop buying into the hack-media lies.

I don't agree with making people wear face coverings, but I do believe in being nice to others and this would seem like the nice thing to do.

There are four different coronaviruses that can cause the pandemic. Message from the one who predicted coronavirus. Dr. Anthony R. Fehr, Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease at the University of Kansas.

Lol no one will miss America when it’s gone 😂 🤣

lol great idea, and because it makes sense and is medically and scientifically advisable, trump and pence will never do it

And Mike Pence will be the reason they change their ways? Lmao

Got to keep those rioters from being identified 😉

My body my choice

So many in medical science say that masks do not work. Masks need to be optional, of course. But if a store requires one, there are choices. Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

The federal government does not have those kinds of police powers

KeithOlbermann This. Is. Ridiculous. It's four months into this mess & there's still so little outcry to just do the basic health requirements!!! People are dying in droves! Why aren't the newspapers calling for djt & his deplorables to resign! This mess is criminal!

goodbye56789 NYGovCuomo Well done🙏🏻

Cuomo delayed closing NY as recommended by Pres Trump early on, and it cost many lives, and avoidable illness. Now he’s telling Trump what to do. Take care of NY Andrew. Get rid of your stupid mountain statue.

Yes!!!!

Do your own job of FIXING NYC, once you have FIXED NYC, then criticize others.

Unfortunately, realDonaldTrump prefers to see many Americans die just like he allows our US soldiers to be murdered.

Yes!!

Yes. Should've been done once he was told the seriousness of this virus. Trump knew for at least 2 months, but continued to call it a 'hoax' anyway. What does that tell Americans?

Yes, Mr. President, we have karen problem. It's time for a national mandate.

He won't, he doesn't give a shit about Americans.

Go straight to hell

Greg Baker Logic: I make up BS charts. So they're real.

They've reached the 'Point of no Return.' Too bad, 'Phantom of the Opera' was my favorite Broadway show. I'll 'think of it' fondly.

He is right & he knows as how to deal with it. King doesn't care so long he has powers.

😢😢😢

Oh Shit, now where do i wear this expensive tux. ?

Or because NY is now a shithole! No tourists!

This guys a joke. Seriously I cannot take him seriously when he has had more deaths every calander week since this thing began than both Florida and Texas, and he still thinks he’s done a great job. Dude literally killed grandma when he put Covid patients back in nursing homes

It's all about the election. Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Says the man who kicked children off their health insurance during a pandemic

Cuomo is trying to deflect blame from his insidious actions

The only thing going up is new cases not deaths

New York cases Updated Jun 29 at 11:49 AM local Confirmed 392,539 Deaths 24,835 Florida cases Updated Jun 29 at 11:49 AM local Confirmed 146,341 5,266 Deaths 3,447 Texas cases Updated Jun 29 at 11:49 AM local Confirmed 148,728 5,357 Deaths 2,393 Conservatives are the best!

Sure he didn't mean every 3-4 hours?

“Urged to quarantine” pretty much says it all

Geez - I couldn’t be contained at a Planet Fitness? How could we have known?
