DHEC says the 13 people they are currently monitoring are not sick but have either traveled to an area impacted by the virus, have had contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, or meet other criteria for risk. DHEC monitors such people for 14 days after their last contact to check for the development of symptoms. Depending on their level of risk, they are asked to restrict their activities and may be asked to stay home and avoid social settings as a precaution.
