COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Deputies in South Carolina said a nail salon was shut down after it was caught operating despite the state’s closure of close-contact businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.
Richland County deputies also ticketed the owner of A.M Nail Bar in Columbia on Wednesday after they got a report that the salon was doing business, the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
Arriving deputies said they found about 25 people who entered the salon through the back door while the front door remained closed.
Nail salons and other close-contact businesses have been closed to avoid spreading the virus under an executive order issued by Gov. Henry McMaster.
