New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced a complete shutdown of all non-essential businesses on Saturday
Gov. Phil Murphy issued a pair of executive orders Saturday afternoon directing residents to stay indoors, shut down most of the state’s retail shops and wipe away the “patchwork” of county and local regulations that have emerged over the last three weeks in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.The orders follow similar directives from fellow Democrats California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Pennsylvania Gov.
As of Saturday, 1,327 people have tested positive for coronavirus in New Jersey, 442 of whom had their test results reported to the state Department of Health between Friday and Saturday afternoon. Five more deaths have been linked to Covid-19 in New Jersey, the governor said Saturday, bringing the total to 16.
“We want you to assume everything that’s not on that list is non-essential,” Murphy said. “If you are a business that makes something, or if you’re a business of any sort, that we didn’t ask to be closed down — you have to have 100 percent work from home policies in place.” Murphy, along with New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli, has also been working to reopen shuttered hospitals and medical facilities to prepare for the wave of patients suffering from respiratory problems linked to Covid-19.
County and local officials, particularly those in North Jersey, have been pushing stringent recommendations and, in some cases, directives for residents to remain at home.
