Governor McMaster Relaxes More COVID-19 Restrictions

Governor McMaster has announced the next stage in lifting South Carolina’s restrictions. Starting Monday, places such as barbershops, hair and nail salons, spas, tattoo services, tanning, massage, gyms and other fitness centers, public or commercial pools, and more will be allowed to reopen. Certain restrictions will remain in place. For example, gyms will not be allowed to offer any group classes. Social distancing, frequent sanitization, and employee health checks must also be adhered to. The governor said, “We have an opportunity to set an example for the rest of the world but we can only do that if South Carolinians continue to follow the advice and recommendations of our public health experts.”
