COLUMBIA, S.C. South Carolina will start the new year under a state of emergency for the coronavirus pandemic after an order issued by Gov. Henry McMaster Thursday.
The 15-day extension of the state of emergency comes the same week the governor s office announced he tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after his wife, Peggy McMaster, did.
It is one of about 20 orders the governor has issued since March to keep South Carolina in an official state of emergency. Since then, McMaster has lifted most other restrictions on businesses and gatherings and has repeatedly said he will not implement a statewide mask order or any other shutdown measures.
