Governor Henry McMaster canceled his executive orders, but local leaders still have the ability to keep beaches closed and some have decided not to reopen yet.
South Carolina businesses and beaches are allowed to open to the public, but easing restrictions doesn't mean life in the Palmetto State is headed back to normal.
McMaster closed beach access, as well as nonessential businesses, with his March 30 and April 3 executive orders, respectively. He said Monday he was canceling the orders, and businesses can reopen on Monday at 5 p.m., followed by the beaches on Tuesday at noon. Businesses affected by the April 3 executive order include furniture and home furnishings stores; clothing, shoe and clothing accessory stores; jewelry, luggage and leather goods stores; department stores; sporting goods store; book, craft and music stores; flea markets; and florists and flower stores.
