Bringing Back the 'Burg is Spartanburg's COVID-19 recovery effort. The initiative includes a Business Recovery Task Force, Guidebook, Commitment, Small Business Fund and marketing campaigns. Our work focuses on providing resources to help businesses navigate a changing world, and bringing back the 'Burg as the vibrant, strong community we've come to know and love.

Inspired by you At Prisma Health, you are at the center of everything we do. Your needs are what make us go further and do more – more services and treatment options, more education, more innovation, more community support. The Chamber has partnered with Luxor Scientific, out of Greenville, and they’ll be offering Spartanburg County businesses COVID-19 testing with a 52% discount and a guaranteed 48-hour turnaround. TEST ID: RP01 CPT CODE: 87798, 87581, 87486, 87633, 87541 SAMPLE TYPE: Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab in UTM TURNAROUND TIME: 24 - 48 hours Luxor Scientific offers highly-sensitive RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction)-based nucleic acid testing to detect the SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus strain that causes COVID-19) using nasopharyngeal swab specimens. We will send your test results by email, usually before midnight. While we target same day turnaround with results by midnight, sometimes they can take longer. 95% of the time they are back by midnight, 5% of the time samples take up to 48 hours due to re-running of samples, high lab testing volume and/or catastrophic lab events.

When the Bringing Back the Burg Business Recovery Task Force initially convened, it was agreed that the target of 80% of 2019 numbers across various data points would show significant economic recovery from COVID-19. Thanks to the work of community partners who invested time and resources in Spartanburg County, we were able to hit the 80% benchmark in all but two areas in 2020.

WE'RE encouraging spartanburg residents to get vaccinated.

Our economic bounce-back relies on Spartanburg residents' willingness to get vaccinated. Employers can play a critical role in vaccination education so we can get back to business.
