Gov. Phil Murphy warned Thursday that its still too early for indoor businesses like gyms and salons to reopen as the coronavirus outbreak continues to slow in New Jersey.
Murphy was asked to respond to social media groups attempting to organize businesses for a coordinated defiance of the coronavirus closures on Monday, June 1.
I would just say to folks: Youre playing with fire, he said at his daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton.
It has to be done the right way and at the right time, Murphy added. And I think were going to, if you bear with us over the next few days, well give some more guidance on that."
The governor said to expect guidance on youth sports, outdoor dining, and small businesses in the next several days. But most of his focus to date has been on reopening outdoor activities like beaches, boardwalks, parks, ranges and fishing. Nonessential retail businesses have been allowed to reopen only for curbside pickup.
Weve got to be exceedingly careful on indoor, sedentary, lacking-ventilation, close-proximity realities, Murphy said.
The lockdown orders have already been met with defiance by businesses and churches. Some have been issued summonses.

Good one!
Id like just ONE of these puny emperors to present the science they are relying on for their sweeping orders. If the science is so convincing, it should speak for itself to all mortals who review it.
He sounds just like a....parent.
Murphy, “Stay afraid and compliant or I’ll import fresh virus!”
I hope Murphy gets to eat crow and every business willing to opens up.
He doesn’t understand Freedom and should be barred from holding office anywhere.
Barbers and hairstylist are all working from home anyway, who does he think he is protecting? Its so hard to give up that power over people.
Why didn’t he follow what they are doing in Georgia that seems to be working.
I think these places are not the problem as a business can control who comes and goes and can limit people if done correctly. I think the problems are indoor social gatherings (e.g., parties, funerals etc.)
Wait.... We killed Commies before? Hmmm...
Murphy is the guy who said the Bill of Rights was above his pay grade.
Which Blue Covidictator governor will be the first one removed by his/her citizens?
Yeah, he’s a real Prometheus, just like Cory Booker is Spartacus. What a menagerie of knaves, rogues, fools and would-be tyrants.
I live in New Jersey, luckily/unluckily in a town that is not hurting that much for business, and I am on the verge of trying to communicate with shop-owners who I know have not even been open for curbside pick up -—how can nail salons, barber shops, florists, gift shops do curbside pick-up. The task of hounding this bum out of office is a labor or Hercules that has at least as much of a chance as any to morph into something more like the Sisyphean myth. But THIS is the only fight right now worth fighting.
Unfortunately , NJ Governor race does not coincide with Presidential election years. If he runs again it will be in 2021. By that time the idiots in this state will vote for him again. The media is working 24/7 on his behalf.
One way of looking at it is that the commies were just as much here as in Vietnam. We’d have been better off identifying them here.....but one of them was running the show in Vietnam, schizophrenically , while pretending to build the “Great Society” at home. The worthless POS called LBJ, who inherited his destiny once they managed to kill JFK.
However, rioting is safe.
Better question than the haircut, when was his last visit to the periodontist? Clear Choice implants are right around the corner, but don’t fret.....if their advertising is truthful , he’ll only be out of commission for ONE day! Then , he will be ALL OURS again!!!
ALSO-—remember, this vampire is already worth 750 MILLION DOLLARS!
The biggest fear of the lockdown tyrants is that all those who are defying the orders, especially the beach goers mixing unmasked, etc. will yield ZERO cases going forward, rolling it out 2,3,4,5 weeks. Their dearest wish was wanting to keep everyone locked down, then when the stats showed zero-to-very little infection rates, THEY and their lockdown mania could take credit for it.
No Democrats don’t like to be defied. They like to be deified. I know that was obvious, I just couldn’t resist it.
BI am sorry for you. I served two years in Delran, NJ while working for my employer. Beautiful area, but most of the people do not like to say Good Morning or Hello.
New Jersey, the state where Smokey the Bear says go ahead and forget about that campfire.
