New Jersey's Gov. Murphy was faced with thousands of COVID-19 cases in April — but these days he is cautiously optimistic.
Murphy said that throughout the crisis, he has been trying to put partisanship aside and not to politicize science.Murphy and his team have imposed a requirement, based on recommendations from the state's Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for face coverings to be worn in all public indoor locations across the state, and they have recommended that they be worn outdoors, as well.
"With whatever political differences we have — and there are many — I'd say, to our credit and to the president and his team's credit, they parked them at the door," Murphy said."We've focused in on the things that have been mission critical." Either way, the so-called new normal has been difficult for small-business owners to adjust to, even as the state slowly allows them to begin opening up.
The Jersey shore, which accounts for about half the state's annual revenue, has been where mask-wearing and social distancing are hard to find."To see ... the boardwalks and those large crowds that are not socially distancing and no facial coverings gives us a tremendous cause for concern," Col. Patrick Callahan, superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, told reporters.
