COVID-19 is spiking in Horry County. What questions do you have about delta and schools?
We’re in the midst of another COVID-19 surge in Horry County, and the delta variant is largely responsible.
The super-contagious strain spreads easily and has been largely affecting a younger, unvaccinated population. Myrtle Beach area hospitals are strained as a result of the rising hospitalizations, and doctors fear the consequences of the area’s relatively low vaccination rate.
Horry County Schools are also back in session, lacking a mask mandate and many other coronavirus precautions that were in place last year. More than 600 students have active cases of COVID-19 as of Friday, district data shows.
With all this in mind, there’s lots of room for questions. We want to help you answer those.
