South Carolina Covid-19 Update – Monday, July 20, 2020

The latest data …

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) released updated data related to the coronavirus pandemic on Monday (July 20, 2020).

Here is a breakdown of the latest numbers …

New Positive Cases: 1,445 (2 probable)
Daily Percent Positive Rate: 17.7 percent
Total Positive Cases: 71,213 (232 probable)
New Deaths: 9
Total Deaths: 1,147 (17 probable)
Case Fatality Rate: 1.61 percent
Hospital Occupancy Rate: N/A
Covid-19 Hospitalizations: N/A
Patients On Ventilators: N/A

Why is there no new data on those last three indicators? Unfortunately, this is the third day in a row SCDHEC has failed to provide information on hospital occupancy, Covid-19 hospitalizations or the number of patients on ventilators. According to the daily release, the agency is blaming the failure on its ongoing efforts to conform with federal reporting standards.

As soon as this information is available, we will be sure to provide the updated data to our readers …
