Garden State shuts down
“All gatherings are canceled. This means no weddings, no funerals or birthday parties,” Murphy said in a video posted to Twitter. “I don’t take this action lightly, but my goal is to make sure you can gather safely with family and friends later.”Murphy also said that “all nonessential retail businesses must indefinitely close their physical stores to the public effective at 9:00pm” Saturday night.
The move also orders all retail businesses to close and all businesses to “move to 100 percent work from home, wherever possible.”“Now, you can still take a walk outside, go buy groceries, or get takeout from the local restaurants you want to support, but if you do, continue to practice social distancing,” he said. “Otherwise, we need you to stay at home.”“This is a time for all of us to come together, to flatten the curve, to slow, and eventually halt, the spread of coronavirus,” Murphy said.
"We’ve learned of 5 additional COVID-19 related deaths, and we keep all of these families in our prayers," he tweeted."My singular goal – not to mention my job – is to make sure we get through this emergency. We don’t take today’s measures lightly or easily," Murphy tweeted. "But at a time when newcases continue to be identified, we need to protect our residents. We need you to just stay home.
Late Friday, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont also issued a "Stay Safe, Stay at Home" order, to prohibit all in-person functions and close businesses across the state.
