Murphy to allow indoor dining to start on Friday
Governor Phil Murphy will announce this afternoon that indoor dining at New Jersey restaurants is permitted effective Friday, September 4, according to Matt Friedman’s POLITICO New Jersey Playbook.
Murphy will impose restrictions similar to those announced in June before the Governor reversed himself and kept indoor dining rooms closed for the summer. 25% capacity and tables six feet apart are among the rules he will announce this afternoon during the Governor’s COVID-19 update.
NEW: Restaurants statewide will be able to open for indoor dining beginning this FRIDAY at 25% capacity and with social distancing between tables.
