I mean, holy shit, you might as well just open schools too.

Milty mentioned in the COVID thread that SC is opening as well.

I've restored public beach access, allowing locals to use their discretion. I've also allowed some retailers that were previously closed to open, but they must follow strict social distancing measures.

Please stay safe and follow all recommendations from public health experts.

I didn't read thru the order yet. Assume it's similar since the Governors were coordinating.

EDIT: Here's McMaster's tweet

I've restored public beach access, allowing locals to use their discretion. I've also allowed some retailers that were previously closed to open, but they must follow strict social distancing measures.

Please stay safe and follow all recommendations from public health experts.

Furniture and home-furnishings stores
Clothing, shoe, and clothing-accessory stores
Jewelry, luggage, and leather goods stores
Department stores, with the exception of hardware and home-improvement stores
Sporting goods stores
Book, craft, and music stores
Flea markets
Florists and flower stores
The governor’s order on social distancing inside stores are still in place. No more than 5 people per 1,000 square-feet will be allowed in stores, or no more than 20 percent of the fire capacity, whichever number is lower.

Law enforcement will still be abler to break up any groups of 3 or more people in the interest of public health.

Those stores mentioned above can begin to reopen as of 5 p.m. Monday.

The governor said other businesses where close contact will take place, such as gyms, barber shops, and hair salons, are to remain closed at this time.

I'm sure that's a big part of the decision.
