Health official: masks are coming back

Commenting on those high South Carolina flu numbers, a DHEC medical consultant says, more and more, we are seeing a return to mask-wearing across the state.  It’s one way, says Dr. Martha Buchanan, to ward off catching or spreading flu, RSV, or COVID.  But her top recommendation is getting vaccinated.  Remarks from Buchanan made today on a statewide update on South Carolina respiratory illness can be heard today on 101.7/WGOG NEWS.
