Zika cases continue to tick upward in South Carolina. Here’s where

While the state has seen 11 new Zika cases since August, no instances of the virus have been reported in Beaufort, Jasper or surrounding counties, according to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.

That’s despite all the bug bites most Beaufort County residents are sporting this time of year.

There were 54 Zika cases in South Carolina as of Thursday, all of them related to travel to an area with active Zika transmission. There is still only one reported case of the virus being sexually transmitted in the state.

As of Oct. 21, the most recent data available, there were 11 cases in Charleston County and four each in Dorchester and Berkeley counties. The rest of the reported infections are in other regions of the state, including nine in Greenville, seven in Lexington and six in Richland counties.
