Today’s South Carolina (and Oconee) COVID numbers
Today’s numbers: 2,736 new South Carolina cases; 72 Oconee cases. Statewide: five new deaths (none in Oconee). Of 10,798 test results received statewide, the new positivity is 25.3%. According to Dr. Traxler, the state’s acting health director, South Carolina is experiencing a “small plateau” in both case and death numbers. But it means that while the case and death numbers are not increasing, they are not decreasing. Which re-enforces the need to be inoculated and to continue to practice simple face covering and social distancing practices.
