Western Pennsylvanians will have to look somewhere besides one popular neighboring West Virginia county to buy their liquor.

The Monongalia County Health Department issued a public health order effective noon Saturday until further notice banning the sale of liquor to anyone without a West Virginia driver’s license or state identification.

Dr. Lee B. Smith of the county health department said the order was necessary “in order to enforce social distancing” and to keep residents of other states from spreading coronavirus in West Virginia
