    Expect a lag time for data below to be updated on DHEC’s site.

    Statewide – 15,759

    Kiawah’s Emergency Ordinance 

    The Town is currently operating under amended Emergency Ordinance 2020-02, which remains in effect until July 4 unless otherwise noted, subject to termination, amendment, or extension by Council. Town Council passed Resolution 2020-02 which established guidelines for reopening and operation of short-term rentals. The resolution includes protocols guided by the CDC, SCDHEC, and MUSC to promote safe operation. All short-term rental properties are encouraged to follow the protocols established in the resolution to prevent exposure of their renters and workers to the COVID-19 virus. Learn more

    Prevention Measures 

    To control the spread of this disease, we must continue to practice the recommended guidelines issued by DHEC and the CDC.

    • Maintain social distancing remaining at least six feet away from other people.
    • Wash your hands often with soap and water.
    • Avoid touching your face.
    • Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
    • Use cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies). The use of face coverings is a voluntary public health measure. Click here to learn how you can create one from common materials found in your home.

     

    Medical Notice

    Older adults who have underlying chronic medical conditions are at higher risk for developing serious complications from COVID-19 and should contact their healthcare provider early, even if they are experiencing mild symptoms.

    If you develop any of the symptoms associated with the virus (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell) or have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19, call your primary care physician first or use virtual care services.
