Gov. Henry McMaster on Monday declared the opioid epidemic a state emergency, ordered limits on opioid prescriptions for Medicaid recipients and participants in the State Health Plan, and pushed legislation restricting sales more broadly.

Lancaster County has recorded 25 opioid-related deaths this year, a fivefold increase over last year.
