Due to the increased community spread of COVID-19, and impacts to the county workforce and community, Dorchester County will continue to implement mitigation strategies to reduce the spread of germs in county buildings.
Effective Monday, August 23, 2021, Dorchester County will reinstate a mask requirement inside all county buildings for employees, vendors, and visitors regardless of vaccination status. Signage regarding the mask requirement will be posted at all public entrances to county buildings.
The reinstatement of this mask requirement aligns with the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). Dorchester County will continue to closely monitor the impacts of COVID-19 to its workforce and the community.
The COVID-19 vaccine is available at area pharmacies, urgent care centers, and other health care providers. To find the nearest COVID-19 vaccination location visit, https://vaxlocator.dhec.sc.
