Respiratory Disease Dashboard
This new Respiratory Dashboard is being provided to inform the public about the activity of respiratory diseases including COVID-19, flu (influenza), and RSV, in South Carolina. Data will be updated every Wednesday.
While these viruses commonly circulate during the fall and winter seasons, DPH encourages everyone to observe good infection control practices year-round, like regular handwashing, staying home when sick and covering your cough. In addition, be sure to keep up to date on all vaccines to further reduce the risk of infection.
