Last week, Governor Phil Murphy lifted the shelter-in-place order, effective June 9, which restricted travel and shut down businesses throughout the state. He also loosened the restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings, increasing the allowable numbers for such events.

But many questions still remain as to what impact his most recent Executive Orders 152 and 153 will have on New Jersey’s Road Back Plan, which provides for a “methodical and strategic reopening of businesses and activities.” Among other things, the orders increase the allowable number of individuals at indoor gatherings to 50 and outdoor gatherings to 100. They also allow for the reopening of outdoor spaces at recreational and entertainment businesses, provided they adopt policies encompassing, among other things, mandated infection control practices, frequent breaks for employees for hand washing, occupancy limits in restrooms, and worker notifications of COVID-19 exposures.
