Gov. Phil Murphy says more businesses will be able to open later this month, and says the state is nearly ready for the next phase of its reopening -- even providing some specific dates.

 

The governor said Monday at his daily briefing that restaurants can open for outdoor dining June 15, and barbershops and salons can open June 22. Youth summer programs can begin July 6.

"The maximum number of people is 15, 10 if you don't have the space,” says Gov. Murphy. “Everyone has to wear masks, except when eating. You cannot share utensil, and you have to have a new condiment. The new condiment is called hand sanitizer."

Parks, golf courses and curbside pickup for retail have already reopened.
