Gov. Phil Murphy said during Wednesday’s COVID-19 press briefing
that something that isn't changing
in New Jersey is the state's outdoor mask mandate.
He governor says the
state isn't updating protocols to create separate rules for people who have
been fully vaccinated, meaning having to still wear a mask outside when social
distancing can't be practiced, regardless of who's around, and your vaccination
status.
The recently released guidance
from the CDC suggests masks only have to be worn outdoors when you can't
socially distance and are around people you do not know.
Gov. Murphy also responded to
New York's reopening moves by saying he was going to start "accelerating opening up of the state.” He says he will have more information Monday.
