WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Gov. Henry McMaster maintained his stance on not issuing a shelter-in-place for South Carolina during his news conference Thursday afternoon on the state’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The governor has faced criticism from several lawmakers who believe he should issue such an order.

McMaster said he thinks the state is seeing success with asking citizens to voluntarily follow social distancing guidelines.

“The business of South Carolina is business,” the governor said. He added he supports President Donald Trump’s “optimism” that parts of the country can reopen by Easter.
