Governor McMaster Issues “Home or Work” Order

Governor Henry McMaster has officially issued a mandatory “home or work” order for South Carolina. Beginning at 5 PM today you will not be able to leave your home unless “working, visiting family, recreating outdoors or obtaining necessary goods.” He also issued a customer limit for retail businesses to maintain less than 20% capacity or 5 people per every 1,000 square feet. The decision was made largely based off the fact social distancing orders were continually disobeyed . DHEC has confirmed 48 deaths out of over 2,200 coronavirus cases but it’s estimated the number of cases could be as high as 15,000 statewide as many go unreported. North Carolina has over 3,000 cases and also 48 deaths.
