Charleston mask ordinance remains in effect in bars and restaurants following Gov. McMaster’s order

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Charleston officials said they have received several questions about the city’s mask ordinance.

These questions are following Governor McMaster’s order that said there will no longer be a requirement to wear masks in bars and restaurants in South Carolina.

City of Charleston attorney Susan Herdina issued a statement that said the city’s mask ordinance will remain in effect in bars and restaurants.
