South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) on Monday will announce the reopening of public beaches and retail stores that had been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Post and Courier reports.
The impending restriction rollbacks follow McMaster’s announcement that access to public boat ramps and landings was reinstated on Friday.
Trey Walker, the governor’s chief of staff, told the paper that the beaches as well as furniture, jewelry and clothing stores will all be reopened for business on Tuesday.
Beaches and retail stores have been closed for just over two weeks in the Palmetto State, as it tried to curb the spread of the virus.
Walker told The Post and Courier that infection rates dropped enough to make easing restrictions feasible.
