Virus case suspected by hospital?

101.7/WGOG NEWS is attempting to verify – true or false – that a suspected case of the coronavirus is being treated at the Oconee Memorial Hospital. A Prisma Health spokeswoman has referred us to DHEC which is the state’s lead public health agency and, as Prisma’s Sandy Dees tells us, is the appropriate agency for questions about any suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases in South Carolina. We have a left a callback message at DHEC’s Columbia offices. In at least one office at the Oconee hospital this morning, a liberal spray of a bacteria-killing disinfectant was being applied to chairs and countertops.
