Gov. Phil Murphy
is going ahead with loosening some more restrictions, despite the recent rise
in new COVID-19 cases across New Jersey.
Starting
this week, capacity for outdoor venues is going from 15% to 30%, for indoor
venues -- from 10% to 20%, including spaces like the Prudential Center in Newark.
The New Jersey Devils say they'll start offering more tickets to
their games starting Friday against
the Washington Capitals.
"In
both cases, to remind everybody, all public health protocols must be observed
by all participants and spectators especially for the wearing of facemasks by
all spectators indoors, and over the last month, since we reopened large venues
to the public, we have seen that they have the enforcement capacity to strictly
enforce these protocols,” says Gov. Murphy.
Tickets are
first-come, first-serve and are still extremely limited.
