The city of Columbia says they may challenge the governor s order in court. Author: Eleanor Tabone (WLTX) Updated: 11:26 PM EDT May 11, 2021
COLUMBIA, S.C. Gov. McMaster has issued an executive order that overturns mask rules in public schools and those issued by many city and county governments statewide.
It also will prohibit vaccine passports.
The executive order ends mask mandates that were approved using the governor s state of emergency declaration, making most invalid.
The city of Columbia now say they may challenge the governor s order in court.
Gov. McMaster issued the order late Tuesday afternoon. It takes effect immediately.
Columbia councilwoman, Tameika Isaac-Devine, says the order takes away a city s ability to have a mask ordinance. This order does not follow CDC guidelines, says Isaac-Devine.
