NEW JERSEY In an unprecedented step to try and stop the spread of coronavirus, Gov. Phil Murphy announced a statewide curfew for all residents and businesses.
According to the governor, businesses must close at 8:00 p.m. and New Jersey residents should not leave their homes from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Additionally, all casinos, restaurants, bars, movie theaters and gyms must shut down at 8:00 p.m. and will remain closed until further notice in New Jersey as well as New York and Connecticut. This was announced by the governors of all three states on Monday.
In New Jersey, nearly 100 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and at least two have died.
I saw too many videos last night of packed bars, people passing bottles drinking from the same bottle, literally on top of each other, Murphy said Sunday, after saying he was considering the curfew. In short of shutting the entire state down, clipping establishments by a number of hours each night in particular we believe will have a meaningful, positive outcome in terms of social distancing.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also say gatherings of 50 people or more should not take place for the next eight weeks, excepting businesses or schools.
Municipalities have also begun taking various steps on their own to try last week to slow down the spread. Millburn has closed down the schools for online learning, and will be postponing non-essential township meetings
