Governor Jim Justice encouraged West Virginians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 amid the recent uptick in Delta variant cases.
West Virginia Republican Governor Jim Justice said Wednesday he is not yet imposing a statewide mask mandate—but said it is possible he will do so if he determines local efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are not sufficient.

Justice said during the briefing there were 458 confirmed Delta variant cases in his state. The variant, which began spreading through the U.S. earlier this year, is believed to be more easily transmissible than other virus variants. "It's too late, West Virginia. It's too late for you to decide, you know, 'Oh, we should have gotten vaccinated,'" Justice said."You can't stop this now, what's happened in West Virginia. But you can still save your own life, or lives that are around you, by getting vaccinated."
