Warm weather in the Lowcountry goes hand-in-hand with mosquitoes. The pesky insects are known for transmitting disease such as Zika and West Nile Virus.

COVID-19 may be a new type of coronavirus, but there are dozens of studies about other known strains and how long they can live on surfaces.

Many in the Lowcountry are enjoying the warmer weather this week and having a better appreciation for the outdoors.

Some strains of coronaviruses have been around for years, including those that can make animals sick, according to the CDC.

The spread of the new coronavirus has unfortunately also prompted the spread of misinformation, especially online and over social media.
