South Carolina’s measles outbreak, which was the worst in the U.S. in more than 35 years, is over.

The mutated version of the virus, first identified in South Africa, was found in two cases in South Carolina. Neither of the people infected has traveled recently, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control said Thursday. AdIn South Carolina, the state health agency said the variant was found in one person from the state's coastal region and another in its northeastern corner. The variant first found in South Africa was detected in October. Biden on Monday reinstated COVID-19 travel restrictions on most non-U.S. travelers from Brazil, the U.K. and South Africa.

Pamela Evette was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Friday, but is recovering in isolation with her family at home, officials said. It was the fifth negative test since the pandemic began for the governor and the third for his wife, Symmes said. Two members of Evette's staff and some of her security detail are also isolating but have not tested positive for COVID-19, Symmes said. But where the lieutenant governor was infected with the virus will likely never be known, said Brannon Traxler, interim public health director for South Carolina. South Carolina's rate of COVID-19 infection has dropped significantly since it nearly led the country in July.
