The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control announced Wednesday 235 new cases of the COVID-19 and 17 additional deaths.

This reminder comes amid public health experts’ concerns over the recent rise in COVID-19 data trends in South Carolina.

As expected, part of the increase in COVID-19 cases is likely a result of increased testing efforts across the state.

The more that South Carolinians take these necessary steps every day to reduce exposures, the more the state can expect to see data trends begin to decrease, showing that COVID-19 transmission is slowing across the state, officials said.

As of June 1, a total of 230,687 tests have been conducted in the state by both DHEC’s Public Health Laboratory and private labs.

DHEC’s Public Health Laboratory is operating extended hours and is testing specimens seven days a week.

168 Permanent Testing Locations, Over 100 Mobile Testing Events Planned.

Currently, there are 111 mobile testing events scheduled through July 2, and 168 permanent testing locations across the state with new testing events added regularly.

As South Carolina increases testing, there will likely be more laboratory-confirmed cases.
