NJ Gov. Murphy: There’s No Timetable To Reopen From N.J. Coronavirus Lockdowns, “Whether You Like That Or Not”

A fired-up Gov. Phil Murphy insisted yesterday that more progress needs to be made in New Jersey’s battle against the coronavirus pandemic before the state lifts additional restrictions and reopens nonessential businesses, regardless of those lobbying for a faster plan as Memorial Day nears.

While hundreds of thousands of residents have filed for unemployment — with many struggling to get help from the state — and countless closed businesses lose revenue, Murphy said he doesn’t have a “magic date” or a timeline for removing more of the near-lockdown restrictions that have been in place for more than seven weeks.

“I’m sorry we can’t give you more definitive guidance yet,” Murphy said during his daily coronavirus press briefing in Trenton. “We still have people getting sick, going to the hospitals, and sadly more than 300 we’re reporting (today) have died. So with all due respect, this is the fight of our lives. We gotta do it right,” he added. “We’ve got to do it responsibly, we’ve got to do it safely, and we are committed to that … frankly, whether you like that or not.” Read more at NJ.com.
