SC Gov. McMaster to lift coronavirus restrictions on some retail stores
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolinians will be able to once again shop in-person at some of the state’s retail stores.
Gov. Henry McMaster is expected on Monday to lift restrictions he placed weeks ago on some retail stores in the state, including clothing, furniture and jewelry stores, a source familiar with the governor’s plans told The State on Sunday.
The governor had initially closed the stores to further stop the outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease that can be fatal.
The number of positive COVID-19 cases in the state has surpassed 4,200 as of Saturday, resulting in more than 100 deaths. However, the state’s public health officials have reported that the majority of people get better, or about 67% of cases.
