COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) announced today that the state has suffered its first influenza-associated death of the season, underscoring the seriousness of the disease as it circulates in our communities.

"Regrettably, a person from the Lowcountry region has died from the flu, becoming our first confirmed influenza-associated death of the season that officially started September 28,” said Dr. Linda Bell, State Epidemiologist and director of DPH’s Health Programs Branch.
