DHEC Unveils New County-Level COVID-19 Online Resource

On Tuesday, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) unveiled a new online dashboard that provides detailed county-level data that helps provide a localized look at the impacts of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 in South Carolina. This new dashboard was developed by DHEC’s data analysts, GIS specialists and epidemiologists using information gathered through the agency’s expansive disease
surveillance capabilities. The dashboard is available by clicking the green “S.C. County-Level COVID-19 Data” button on the main COVID-19 landing page. It will be accessible there for 10 days, after which time it will replace the “Demographics” webpage, as statewide and county-level demographics are both built into this new dashboard. The S.C. County-Level COVID-19 Data dashboard includes a users’ guide for helping
viewers navigate through the dashboard and understand the data as presented. It will be updated daily and represents information current as of the previous day.
