On June 9th, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy lifted New Jersey’s stay-at-home order and will allow for bigger social gatherings.
– Indoor Gatherings – the limit on indoor gatherings was raised to 25% of capacity or 50 people total; people are required to wear face coverings for these indoor gatherings
– Outdoor Gatherings – the limit on outdoor gatherings was raised from 25 to 100; furthermore, the limit on outdoor gatherings will rise to 250 on June 22nd and 500 on July 3rd
The increase to 500 on July 3rd is intended to permit outdoor graduations to resume in July, as long as fewer than 500 people are gathered together outside.
Exceptions will be granted for outdoor religious services and First Amendment activities, such as protests.
All outdoor recreational and entertainment may resume except for amusement parks, water parks and arcades.
Governor Murphy also announced on the 8th that pools will be permitted to reopen per announced schedules.
