A Look Back at a Year of COVID-19 in the Carolinas

One story has taken over 2020 and that’s the coronavirus.

The past few months have been full of ups and downs as the world navigated the reality of dealing with a pandemic.

WCNC Charlotte looked into the Carolinas data for the year.

North Carolina saw a total of 6,729 deaths. 60% of those deaths were people 75 years of age or older. Data also shows 25-49 year old’s were infected by the virus most, making up almost half of all cases at 40%.

South Carolina saw a total of 5,249 deaths, nearly 69% of those deaths were people 71 years of age or older.

This year we heard a lot of numbers, but they also represent a life, because of that state officials urge you to stay home as we get ready to bring in the new year.
