In a joint phone conference this morning, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced new restrictions aimed at mitigating the continued spread of Covid-19.
The governors said that they have agreed upon a set of rules for each of their states, including no gatherings of over 50 people, and an order that all bars, nightclubs, casinos, gyms and restaurants must close by 8 PM. Restaurants will only be allowed to be open for takeout and delivery until further notice.
Additionally, Governor Murphy requested that all non-essential travel should be limited across the tri-state from 8 PM to 5 AM due to the coronavirus. This is not a mandatory curfew, but rather a proactive way for residents to help stop the spread of the virus.
Whats gonna be with weddings this week?
does this mean that r’l shuls will have to be limited to 50 people what is going to be with bmg are they allowed to be open
Maybe it’s time to stop thinking of new restrictions every hour. Every governor is trying to out do the next. Enough is enough.
Travel?? What does travel have anything to do with the virus? Driving a vehicle at 10 pm doesn’t spread the virus any more than it spreads it at 6pm.can anyone explain this?
Chaim, go spend a couple of hours at NYU or Cornell hospitals and report back if you still think they’re overdoing it.
Hashem has a plan
The situation is getting out of hand. Disrupting our entire system can be incredibly detrimental in the long run, long after this pandemic will pass.
So the virus only comes out at night, and only targets people who travel?
What does traveling and driving have to do with spreading the virus and how does travel after 8pm spread the virus more than driving before 8pm?
