COVID-19 cases fell, then rose while Horry County face mask mandate was in place

Horry County imposed a face mask mandate for all residents and visitors from July 3 to Oct. 30. During that time, COVID-19 cases fell drastically, then ticked upwards again.

Note: The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control did not announce any on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, so no data exists for that day.
