With more and more of our businesses reopening, we are no longer requiring you to stay at home, but we are asking you to continue to be responsible and safe," Murphy said during his daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton.
Though the Garden State has the second-most COVID-19 deaths and cases among American states, Murphy has cited continued progress, with fewer numbers of newly infected people and deaths in recent weeks, as the reason to lift his unprecedented restrictions.
Gov. Phil Murphy announced Tuesday he's formally lifting the stay-at-home order he installed in New Jersey nearly three months ago to slow the spread of the coronavirus as the state nears Stage 2 of its multiphase reopening plan, with outdoor dining resuming and nonessential retail set to allow customers inside again next week.
Among the requirements under the stay-at-home order was that businesses should permit employees to work from home if they have the ability to work remotely.
It is nothing short of complete hypocrisy to protest for equal protection under the law, but then as governor decide that people who hold views different from him are not equally protected," read a joint statement from all of the 28 Republican members of the state Assembly.
