UPDATE: INDOOR DINING WILL NO LONGER RESUME ON THURSDAY. We had planned to loosen restrictions this week. However, after #COVID19 spikes in other states driven by, in part, the return of indoor dining, we have decided to postpone indoor dining indefinitely.

NEW: @NewJerseyDEP has launched the #MaskUpNJ campaign to encourage more New Jerseyans to wear face coverings at New Jersey parks and beaches. Be a model for others. Take part. If you think you look silly wearing a face covering – imagine how silly you’d look in a hospital gown.

Any ideas about how to focus on #writing in the middle of this #COVID pandemic? It demands your full attention. Everything else shrinks in importance.

Prepping for Beach Season - #CapeMay beach goers started to arrive this week- a little early. Everyone was eager to soak up as much sun as they could. #coronavirus #facemasks @GovMurphy capemaytimes.com/news/2020/0…

Shameful that a #CapeMay house owner won't refund a vacation renter's payment in a pandemic. What happened to: "We're in it together?"

Just saw a red fox walking through our backyard. Spotted another one at Cape May Point a week or so ago. Anyone else seeing foxes lately?

In just a week, cases at a farm in Salem County grew from 5 to 59. That means over half of the migrant workers there have been infected. Advocates are calling for their protection. njspotlight.com/2020/05/more… via @njspotlight
Any word - yes or no -on Cape May County's proposal to the state to reeopen businesses? Per the plan, May 11 (today) was pitched as start of first phase of retail opening. @CurtisBashaw @CookeCapeMay capemaytimes.com/news/2020/0…

hey all mask haters--this is a paper mask + the top 8 inches of queen sized pantyhose over. It closes paper mask gaps & filters 96+% of small virus particles (an n95 does 98-99). plus it is light and easy to breathe thru--jus wrnt for a brisque walk and like it the most!

Social distancing is all we have to save lives. We’re saving them. But, we need to save more. Keep practicing your social distancing. Keep wearing a face covering when out in public.

NEW: I’m signing an EO to extend our public health emergency by 30 days. To be clear: this does not mean we’re seeing anything in the data which would pause our path forward. These declarations, unless extended, expire after 30 days. We’re still in a public health emergency.

Gov. Murphy gave personal shout out to former Senator Bill Bradley, who has helped bring 750,000 masks to the state. Murphy said many of those masks have come from UNIQLO (led by CEO Tadashi Yanai) and the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation.
