COLLETON COUNTY COVID-19 UPDATE
Colleton County officials have been notified of 48 total cases of COVID-19 in Colleton County, with nine new cases reported yesterday. These cases of COVID-19 are in the 29488 and 29481 ZIP codes, as well as two cases with unknown ZIP codes.
The ZIP code data for the state is available on DHEC’s COVID-19 webpage, specifically on the Testing & SC Data page, underneath the county map. This can be found by following the link below.
It's important to note that there are likely many more people in the community who have this virus and have never been tested. Also, DHEC isn’t notified when individuals are no longer infectious (i.e., they are well), and as a result, these numbers likely include people who have recovered and no longer pose a risk to others.
Colleton County residents are urged to follow the guidance of Governor McMaster and the recommendations of the CDC. This information can be accessed at colletoncounty.org/coronavirus.
