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.

Previous Notifications of Possible Exposures

DHEC investigates all reports of hepatitis A in South Carolina. The risk of hepatitis A being spread by a food handler to people who eat at a restaurant is low. Based on recognized best practices from the CDC and other states, when an investigation shows the likelihood of patrons being exposed is small and hepatitis A vaccine is not needed, no public notice will be given. Notices will be posted on this website if it is recommended patrons should consider hepatitis A vaccine.
