In the video, the governor says, "We're not an average state. We're not an average nine million people. This is Jersey. How many times in the past have we done what folks said was impossible? We have lived our lives punching above our weight. We've lived our years defying the odds. No state has more attitude or character. No state has been smarter over the years in figuring out what seemed to be the impossible and yet getting there and achieving nonetheless. We've got to set a bar in terms of our social distancing that no other state has ever set before and by the way, who's to say that we can't? Remember, we are New Jersey, we can do this. We must do this."
Gov. Murphy also tweeted the video with the comment, "We will beat this virus and we will emerge from this fight stronger than ever because we're #JerseyStrong."
