The move comes the same day South Carolina Republican Gov. Henry McMaster issued an executive order formally announcing the reopening of some retail stores, such as furniture, clothing, jewelry, and department stores, and removing restrictions on state beaches, public piers, docks, and wharfs, WYFF reports. The stores may reopen as of 5 p.m. Monday but must follow strict social distancing guidelines.
