At Tuesday’s Cayce City Council meeting, council voted unanimously to enact a citywide curfew beginning Wednesday

The curfew will be in effect from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. and will restrict the travel of individuals inside the Cayce city limits with the exception of individuals traveling to and from work, for work purposes, or for healthcare.

During the hours of the curfew, individuals are advised to stay in their homes and not travel freely. Any person violating any provision of this Ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor

Cayce City Manager, Tracy Hegler, stated, “As many cities and towns across our state continue to face uncertainty, one thing remains the same: the health and wellbeing of our Cayce citizens is our top priority. The implementation of this curfew reinforces Governor McMaster’s ‘Home or Work’ Order and provides for an added layer of safety for our citizens by deterring unnecessary activity.”
