The governor first issued a state of emergency in March, addressing the cases in Kershaw and Lancaster counties which were among the first areas in the state in which there was evidence of community spread of the virus.
Governor Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency throughout the state to enhance the state’s response to the COVID-19 virus’ impact on the South Carolina.
Citing the fact that Kershaw and Lancaster counties are the only areas in the state in which there is evidence of community spread of the virus, Governor McMaster’s order will also direct that schools in those counties will be closed for a period of 14 days. Additionally, the governor order will direct the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to consult with the state’s Superintendent of Education and local school district leadership to provide guidance on if and when remaining school districts should decide to close schools and for what period of time.
