DHEC Encouraging CCMF Attendees To Get Their Covid-19 Vaccine Before The Event

DHEC is encouraging those attending the Carolina Country Music Festival to get their Covid-19 vaccine before the event. During a media briefing held yesterday, Assistant State Epidemiologist Dr. Jane Kelly said “I can’t stress it more strongly, the safest way to attend big outdoor gatherings is with vaccine onboard.” Kelly said if you’re planning to go to the festival and aren’t vaccinated that you should take precautions such as wearing a mask, washing your hands and social distancing. Festival organizers are not requiring guests to wear a mask or get vaccinated but there will be on-site testing available and guests will have to fill out a health survey before the festival each day.
