New Jersey to open outdoor dining, retail shops on June 15 as tri-state region eases restrictions
On June 15, shops will be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity, he said, and restaurants can only roepen their outdoor dining areas.
Murphy cautioned that people, particularly those with underlying health conditions, should continue to practice physical distancing and safety precautions even as more businesses reopen. He said people should continue to wear a mask and warned that any decisions about reopening are contingent on the health data continuing to decline.
"Just because the calendar says June 15 doesn't mean that everyone should just go back to what they were doing and the way they were doing it pre-Covid," Murphy said. "There is no cure. There is no vaccine. There is no proven therapeutic. The only cure is responsibility. Safety will continue to be our number one priority."
