Governor Phil Murphy has signed an Executive Order which will increase indoor capacity limits from 25 percent to 35 percent for several businesses.
This order includes food and beverage establishments and entertainment and recreational businesses. It will go into effect on Friday, February 5 at 8:00 a.m.
The Executive Order also lifts the 10:00 p.m. curfew for in-person indoor restaurant service. However, the prohibition on seating at indoor bar areas remains in effect.
“Since the beginning of the pandemic, my Administration has used science, data, and facts to guide our decision-making process,” said Governor Murphy in a press statement. “The downward trend of COVID-19 cases in our hospitals, coupled with the state’s decreasing rate of transmission, allows us to confidently expand our indoor capacity limits without leading to undue further stress on our health care systems. I am incredibly grateful to the millions of New Jerseyans who have been vigilant in practicing social distancing and wearing face coverings, and I urge everyone to continue their efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19.”
