The governor talked about the challenges with reopening indoor businesses at his daily briefing Thursday.
"Outside is easier than inside, so the toughest nuts to crack are inside,” says Gov. Murphy. “No ventilation, sedentary. That means indoor dining is going to be more complicated than outdoor dining. The barber shop which all of us need, the salon, the gym, those are complicated. I'm hopeful that with the progress we've been making, that's a matter of weeks."

Gov. Murphy did not go into detail on the guidelines the businesses would have to follow.
