Many have been asking what will be changing in Lakewood this Friday, the day Governor Murhpy marked for lifting the indoor mask mandate.
Governor Murphy also said that also effective Friday, the requirement to socially distance 6 feet in indoor and outdoor settings will be lifted, but social distancing will remain in place in places where masking continues to be required.
As earlier reported, businesses and entities overseeing indoor spaces may continue to require face masks for employees, customers, and/or guests, despite the governor’s lifting of the mandate. Which means, many offices will still choose to keep their mask requirement signs up.
The lifting of the indoor masking requirement still leaves in place certain places where masks will continue to be required, as per CDC guidelines, including:
- Health care settings, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters
- Airplanes, busses, trains, and other forms of public transportation
- Transportation hubs like airports and train stations
- Child care centers and facilities
- Youth summer camps
- Public, private, or parochial preschool program premises
- Elementary and secondary schools, including charter and renaissance schools
Many businesses in Lakewood have already indicated they will be choosing to allow maskless entry beginning on Friday.
Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles tells TLS he will be meeting with Township officials to discuss a reopening date for the Township buildings. The Mayor says he will also be discussing whether or not masks will be required in Municipal buildings once reopened.
With regard to school buses, a Lakewood School District official tells TLS the school bus and school requirements will remain unchanged at least until the end of the school year. Private transportation can apparently choose to allow students to travel without masks.
Governor Murphy also said that also effective Friday, the requirement to socially distance 6 feet in indoor and outdoor settings will be lifted, but social distancing will remain in place in places where masking continues to be required.
Additionally, Governor Murphy said the limits on indoor gatherings will be lifted effective June 4th, as well as the 30% capacity limit on large indoor venues of over 1,000 seats.
Care to explain why you guys keep leaving out the key point of all these new rules?? It’s only for vaccinated people. So if your interested in explaining something that’s probably something that needs explanation. Like how will they enforce the non vaccinated to wear a mask. Instead of just repeating the same jibberish you said last time
INCORRECT!!
The Mask Mandate has been removed 100% for Everyone.
As an aside, Murphy recommended that if you are not vaccinated you should (if you so choose) volunteer to follow a mask as per CDC recommendation
reality check:
Does it really look like anyone gave a thing to what Murphy has to say?
@anon, The leftwingers keep asking this idiotic question, the answer is since vaccinated people are protected, who cares?
So nothing is really changing. Many stores/schools dont require masks for months already. And the places that do..(like bussing…banks…municipal..)still will…soooooo. whats changing with this new breaking news!
Lol.
