COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has closed public access to all beaches and has closed all public boat ramps, landings and other access points on the state's lakes, rivers and waterways.
McMaster issued an executive order Monday evening making that official.

Henry McMaster. "This is unfortunate for those who chose to responsibly follow the instructions of our public health officials, but it is a necessary action to prevent the spread of this dangerous virus."
