1,053 new virus cases in SC, 7 additional deaths

South Carolina now has had more than 1,000 daily cases for nearly two weeks

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina saw its 12th straight day of more than 1,000 coronavirus cases, although the state did see a significant dip from the day before.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) Sunday announced the lastest COVID-19 updates.

It showed 1,053 new coronavirus cases, which is down significantly from the 1,796 announced the day before. However, the overall trend for cases remains upward, and it's unclear if the Thanksgiving holiday may increase that trajectory in the coming days. 

Here's a look at the remaining data.
