- Outbreak data show six new cases are household contacts of known cases and one is a school-exposed individual already quarantined, with 58 unvaccinated, three partially vaccinated, and one undetermined case.
- DPH says 144 people are in quarantine and six are in isolation, including 56 from Lyman Elementary, 52 from Boiling Springs Middle School, and one at D.R. Hill Middle School.
- DPH has issued one public exposure notice for Costco, 211 W. Blackstock Road #1008b, Spartanburg, on Nov. 18 exposure window, 9:30 a.m.–1 p.m.; those without immunity should monitor symptoms through Dec. 9 and contact health care providers if ill.
