SC launches one-stop shop for coronavirus information
South Carolina now has a website the state government intends to be one-stop shop for COVID-19 related information.
The website, accelerate.sc.gov, is part of the Accelerate SC group formed by Gov. Henry McMaster tasked with coming up with recommendations reopening the state’s economy after businesses closed to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, which is sweeping the globe.
“This website is a critical component of that effort because it provides South Carolinians with real-time information about the state’s response to the coronavirus and how they can best help themselves and their loved ones through this challenging time,” McMaster said in a news release.
The website includes information for residents and information on the governor’s executive orders, telehealth providers, guidance for wearing masks and Medicaid information, among other topics. For businesses and organizations there is information on tax relief and as well as information about where to find personal protective equipment and other supplies for employees to ensure the economy reopens safely, among other topics.
Additional features will be rolled out over the next few weeks as the site is still being built out, said Marcia Adams, executive director of the S.C. Department of Administration.
“Access to accurate information is vital for all South Carolinians, especially as the state works to revitalize the economy and help citizens feel comfortable moving forward,” Adams said.
