Palmetto State Visitors Required to Self Quarantine

Late Friday afternoon, Gov. McMaster announced an executive order requiring all people coming into South Carolina to self-quarantine for 14 days—especially those coming from the virus “hot spots” including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and New Orleans. State epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell recommended that if South Carolinians feel only mild symptoms, they should self quarantine and avoid tying up medical personnel who are being overworked, but if those symptoms worsen then, by all means, try to see a doctor.
