No Thanksgiving Day report.

State health department to begin reporting COVID-19 data on 24-hour delay Friday

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) - The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control will not release data on newly-confirmed COVID-19 cases or deaths on Thanksgiving Day. But when the agency resumes reporting on Friday, the data it releases will be provided on a one-day delay.

“This delay will allow for more robust analysis of data before it’s publicly reported,” the agency stated in a news release.

The 24-hour delay will give DHEC’s epidemiologists and data analysts “greater time to review the vast amounts of data and information reported to the agency each day,” DHEC says. It will also provide more time for “data validation, verification of death reports, and improvements in processing large data files submitted from reporting partners.”

It should also give more time to “identify and investigate any data inconsistencies or abnormalities,” the release states.

INTERESTING POINT from above link:
"Wednesday (November 25) marked the 16th day in November in which the number of newly-confirmed cases exceeded 1,000. It was also the ninth consecutive day with more than 1,000 cases reported.

By contrast, there were only two days in October in which the number of daily new COVID-19 cases reached past the 1,000-mark.

Health experts fear spike in COVID-19 cases following Thanksgiving, warn of 2nd wave in SC
"With many families hosting a Thanksgiving meal in the Midlands or traveling to be with family for the Thanksgiving holiday, health experts are warning that South Carolina might see another spike in the coming weeks.

UofSC Arnold School of Public Health Chair of Epidemiology and Biostatistics Dr. Anthony Alberg said South Carolina is most likely just entering the second wave of the virus, and he’s concerned what the outbreak might look like in the state over the next few weeks in the wake of people traveling and spending time with family for Thanksgiving in the next few months as the winter progresses.

The number of cases, hospitalization rate, and the percent positive are all things health experts use to track the COVID-19 outbreak, and Alberg said all of those numbers here in South Carolina are headed in the wrong direction.

“We are on an upward trend and the worst is very likely yet to come for us here in South Carolina, worse than we saw in July,” Alberg said.

This warning comes as DHEC has reported South Carolina having over 1,000 COVID-19 cases every day this past week, with over 1,500 cases three of the days. They report the percent positive as of Thursday at 12.3% and that 884 patients are hospitalized with COVID-19.

“This is a measure of disease transmission in the community, and everything is pointing in the same direction,” Alberg said. “These are not artifacts. These are very real numbers showing a concerning trend.”
