On June 9th, Governor Murphy lifted his NJ stay at home order which began March 21st. However, the governor did say he hopes businesses still allow workers to work from home if they can. Social distancing measures are still required, at least 6 ft apart and wearing masks inside at work, businesses, school and church. Indoor gatherings must allow for 6 ft apart too and masks, and if possible can be held with up to 50 people. Outdoor gatherings must allow for 6 ft apart also and masks, and if possible can be held with up to 100 people. For more detailed information here is the Star Ledger article on the reopening.
