COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina's COVID-19 numbers continue to climb as the state set another daily case record for the sixth time in less than three weeks.

The state Department of Health and Environmental Control reported more than 20,000 new cases on Sunday, beating the record previously set on Friday. With the 68,597 cases added over the past four days pushed the weekly total to more than 113,300 cases, which also shattered the previous weekly record.

For nearly a year, the most new daily cases reported in S.C. was 7,727. Since New Year's Eve, however, the state has had a surge in cases.
