This virus does not spread on its own. It’s spread around our state by infected people who carry it wherever they go — their work, the supermarket, the post office, a friend’s house. By not following public health precautions, many are putting all at risk,” State Epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said in her statement Thursday. South Carolina started seeing an increase in new cases per day at the end of May, with a re- cord on May 29 of 396. June 5-9 saw three days with more than 490 cases, and a record of 677 cases on June 10 has been eclipsed by at least a hundred cases four times. In Sumter, previous highs of 17 cases per day on April and May 1 have been beaten six times and tied once since June 5. Sumter’s record for new cases announced in a day came on June 10 with 45. Bell said it is essential that everyone wears a mask in public and stays whenever possible physically distanced from others. “We understand that what we’re continuing to ask of everyone is not easy and that many are tired of hearing the same warnings and of taking the same daily precautions, but this virus does not take a day off,” she said. “Every day that we don’t all do our part, we are ex- PHOTOS BY MICAH GREEN / THE SUMTER ITEM tending the duration of illnesses, missed work, Eddie Roberts disinfects an engine at Sumter Fire Department headquarters.

shifts of firefighters from gather- ing. Duggan said firefighters are continuing their training and ed- ucation with online courses, and shifts can conduct most training at their stations, but training with actual fire is not happening right now, a policy mirrored at the state level, Duggan said. The department even has a new hire who can’t complete his training because the state Fire Academy is closed. While he can’t help put out fires, he is still working and providing help around the station with cleaning and other duties. Shifts at headquarters have split up into smaller units that are stationed throughout the county as opposed to everyone remaining at headquarters. When they’re called to a scene, they all converge, but splitting up when they can prevents pro- longed contact with as few peo- ple as possible, Duggan said. With the fire department often being the first people who arrive at a scene, from vehicle accidents to health emergencies to fires and anything they’re called for, firefighters have pro- cedures requiring distance whenever possible from people on scene and the use of masks and gloves. E-911 Facility dis- patchers have a series of ques- tions they ask all callers so first responders know if they’re ap- proaching a situation where they could be exposed to the virus. Firefighters have to rely on each other when they run into a burning building, Duggan said, and looking out for each other is just as important when it comes to making sure they take precau- tions against the virus.
