Face Covering Proclamation

As COVID-19 continues to expand across South Carolina with localized person-to-person spread creating an extreme public health risk, Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie enacted an emergency proclamation requiring the wearing of face coverings in certain circumstances.

The proclamation became effective on November 15 at 12:01 a.m. and will expire 60 days later.
