Monthly Taskforce Meeting
In September and October, due to the COVID-19 surge, South Carolina task force members were interviewed one-on-one instead of participating in the traditional monthly task force meetings.
This meeting focused on a six-month timeframe of the COVID-19 response (May – November/December 2020) with a focus on impacts on historically marginalized and vulnerable populations.
