CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Folly Beach officials are encouraging business owners in the Charleston County community to halve the occupancy of their properties and encourage take-out service, city officials said.
A local state of emergency is also now in effect in the city.
The announcement was made three days after South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency throughout South Carolina because of the spread of COVID-19.
As a result, Folly Beach City Hall will be closed after Monday at 5 p.m. until further notice while municipal meetings, court hearings, and elections are all being postponed.
