SC DHEC reported 12 cases of COVID-19 delta mutations in the state, one confirmed in children | COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease)
The SC Health and Environmental Management Department is currently reporting 12 cases of COVID-19 delta mutations in the state and believes there are even more possibilities.
Dr. Brannon Traxler, director of public health at DHEC, said that only random samples of positive COVID-19 samples were state sequenced to identify mutants. The purpose of the sequence is monitoring, not individual diagnosis.
“The data show that the proportion of identified delta mutants is increasing rapidly,” Traxler said.
Of the 12 confirmed cases of the delta mutant, one was an individual under the age of 18.
Traxler said the data show that the COVID-19 vaccine is effective against delta mutants, especially among fully vaccinated people.
Persons vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after a single vaccination. People vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer will be fully vaccinated two weeks after the second vaccination.
State-wide figures
New case reported: 204 has been confirmed and 121 is possible.
Total number of SC cases: 495,079 have been confirmed and 105,528 are possible.
Positive percentage: 8 percent.
New reported deaths: 3 is confirmed and 1 is possible.
Total Deaths in South Carolina: 8,675 have been identified and 1,185 are possible.
Percentage of filled ICU beds: 68.3 percent.
South Carolina residents vaccinated
DHEC Vaccine dashboard It shows that 49.3 percent of the state’s population received at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The most hit area
Greenville County (27), Charleston County (21), Holly County (21), and Richland County (18) have the highest total number of newly identified cases.
How about the three counties?
There were 21 new cases in Charleston County on July 14, 13 in Berkeley County and 7 in Dorchester County.
Dead (number)
DHEC does not report the ages of the three people who died in the July 14 data.
Hospitalization
Of the 192 COVID-19 patients admitted on 14 July, 53 were in the ICU and 16 were on mechanical ventilation.
What do experts say?
Public health recommendations for protecting people from COVID-19 remain unchanged for delta variants.
“As soon as you qualify, being fully vaccinated as soon as possible is the best way to protect against that delta variant and all other variants present for the COVID-19 virus.” Traxler said.
She said that unvaccinated people should wear masks in public and avoid close contact with others.
Students over the age of 12 are strongly advised to vaccinate now. This will give you time to strengthen your immunity to the virus before school begins or early in the school year.
