Hurricane Helene: Public Health Department Closures

Latest updates: Hurricane Helene

Our public health departments' hours of operation may be affected by power and staffing outages. This means that some closures may not appear on the state government office delays and closings map. The health and safety of our employees and our clients remains our highest priority. We are working to get services restored as safely and quickly as possible.

**As a clarification, the female Kershaw County patient who was one of the first two presumptive positives, first presented to the Kershaw medical facility March 3 and did not meet the CDC COVID-19 screening criteria. She was placed in isolation as a precaution on March 4. She was tested for the virus on March 5 and was transferred to a medical facility in the Midlands on March 6.**
