DHEC Recommending Masks Indoors For Students, Staff At Schools

(Columbia, SC) -- The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control is recommending students and staff wear masks indoors when returning to classes. 

The agency says the guidelines are for everyone regardless of vaccination status to avoid a surge of cases from in-person learning. 

DHEC also recommends everyone eligible to be vaccinated against the virus get the shot. 

The guidelines are not mandates because of a provision that bans mask mandates in the state.
