I'm on official lockdown. This is what you officially can and cannot do:
Businesses allowed to open include grocery stores, food banks, pharmacies, medical marijuana dispensaries, gas stations, auto mechanics and repair services, convenience stores, banks, hardware and home improvement stores, laundromats, dry cleaners, printing and office supply shops, pet stores, stores that sell supplies for young children, and mail and delivering shops.
Other businesses should allow people to work from home, if possible.
Restaurants, bars, and liquor stores that provide takeout can remain open. Construction sites will not be closed.
Governor Murphy said people can assume most retail is non-essential. “And we mean it.”
He is also banning all public gatherings — which means no weddings, in-person services, or even parties.
Murphy also said he wants people off the roads for non-essential travel 24 hours. Health workers, media, law enforcement, and federal officials who need to travel are exempt.
Murphy orders N.J. residents to stay home, closes non-essential retail businesses in state lockdown to fight coronavirus
“We expect people to stay home. We want you off the roads. That’s now 24 hours. We don’t want you out there. Period.”
On those who may violate his orders, Murphy said:
“If folks are monkeying around, we will take action.”
