Gov. Phil Murphy says he does
not expect to have to shut down the state again, despite a recent increase of
coronavirus cases.
"I sure as heck hope we
don't, and I do not anticipate it,” says Gov. Murphy. “I
will be profoundly saddened, and I will say shocked if we have to shut the whole
place down again. I just don't see that."
The governor went on to
stress that New Jersey has more safeguards in place now than it did in March.
The safeguards include better
knowledge of coronavirus, face covering mandates, and an increase in testing
and contact tracing.
