New Jersey residents likely will not see any new reopening announcements in the coming weeks as the state battles a surge in COVID-19 variants, Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday.
The governor, speaking on CNN, said any further reopenings or capacity increases are on pause in the Garden State because of the increase in virus variants.
“We’ve got these variants: whether they be Brazil, South Africa, UK, New York City, whatever it might be – they’re in New Jersey,” Murphy said. “We’re the densest state in America, we’re in the densest region in America. Plus, you combine that with the cold weather that we’ve had over the last couple of months – we’re still in the thick of this thing.” ...
Dr. Stephanie Silvera, epidemiologist and professor of Public Health at Montclair State University, said the fact of the matter is, New Jersey has vaccinated only about 14 percent of its adult population.
“What we cannot afford to do, and we’ve seen this from last year, is to let down our guard, and start gathering with large group of people in close contact without masks,” Dr. Silvera said.

The good weather is coming and thus riot season is here.
Masking is needed to protect the identities of rioters.
It's all for the greater good, you know.
They also have the densest Governor. Well, it’s close anyway.
Libs are great at searching for and finding any excuse they can to do what they want.
Until they have cause to regret it.
So, New Jersey-ites, are you men/women or are youLGBTUWORUWHATEVERS?
Face masks today.
Face masks tomorrow.
Face masks forever !
All good robots must obey !
The good thing about Murphy is that he backs down immediately in the face of opposition. Last year he declared he would not open the beaches, then everybody told him to screw off they were going to the beach anyway. He then announced that the beaches were open.
It is my understanding that the Brazilian variant is rare in Florida (and the rest of the USA).
The UK variant is common.
I’m age 62 and I should get a Moderna vaccine shot on Thursday personally.
We’re getting to the point where the people likely to get hospitalized or die have mostly gotten vaccinated.
Ask Joe Biden how vaccination is going, Gov. Murphy.
Michigan is #1 in power-mad governors, in my opinion.
Maybe Springsteen will write some horrible song about wearing his mask while driving drunk.
Well the good news about that was it spared us from having to see that Jeep commercial about a million more times....
It will never end. Never.
Screw Democrats and their totalitarian ways
The funny thing is I was in Jersey last summer in Wildwood and we went to the waterpark and it was open and everybody was right next to each other and nobody was wearing masks !!
and I was August of last year
Might as well hermetically seal NJ off from the world and require everyone to were bio hazmat suits. This clown governor is a candy-ass daffodil that can’t reason past a 5 year olds mental acuity. No understanding that everyone has an immune system and that somehow humanity has survived REAL deadly plagues compared to this joke of a COVID fake pandemic.
The “positives” curve is an absolute scam just as the same fidiots push the fake vaccine. All of this is maddening and an indication this is the new normal because bottom line is that it keeps them in control and powerful and people fearful and subdued.
I said it a year ago when this crap started... They will NEVER, EVER give up the power given to them by the fearbros, Karens, and brainless imbeciles.
Wear the mask.
Wear another mask.
Take the shot.
Take another shot.
Shut up.
Obey.
Exactly. They will keep thinking of ways to extend this indefinitely. Once Covid goes away, they will claim some new potential disease means we can’t let our guard down, etc.
