Violation of South Carolina's new 'home or work' order will result in a fine of $100 or up to 30 days in jail.
South Carolina has become the latest state to issue a statewide stay-at-home order as it reports 2,232 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 48 deaths.
The non-essential businesses that were recommended to close last week included entertainment venues and facilities, recreational and athletic facilities and activities, close-contact service providers, and non-essential retail stores. But yesterday, McMaster said in a briefing:"Today most of those recommendations are becoming mandates, becoming orders, with criminal penalties attached."
