Greenwood’s 2nd Covid Death and Temp Test Site Open to All
June 4, 2020
As of yesterday’s report, Greenwood County had 2 additional confirmed cases in the county for a total of 150 cases confirmed since 21 March. Remember this is only those which have been confirmed and is for those who were tested a minimum of two days ago. This means there are others who have been tested and are in quarantine awaiting results. Additionally, an individual can be asymptomatic, (contagious but shows no symptoms), and may choose not to be tested.
The first 72 cases in Greenwood County were reported over 15 days ago, so there are 72 individuals who should have recovered from the virus. Additionally, Greenwood County has had 2 deaths due to the virus. This brings Greenwood County’s remaining total of active confirmed cases to 76.
