Gov. Phil Murphy addressed indoor dining this morning during an interview on CNN.

 

"The evidence is overwhelming that the virus is a lot more lethal indoors, particularly when you're sedentary, lack of ventilation, you're taking your mask off by definition to eat or drink,” says Gov. Murphy. “We also saw what was happening in other states where the virus was raging, most of that from indoor activity. We said you know what, we want to get to indoor activity, our restaurants are getting crushed, but we do not think and continue to think we're not there yet in terms of getting there responsibly. I hope we get there, sooner than later, but not yet.
