Governor Phil Murphy announced today that vaccinated people won't have to wear masks indoors or outdoors anymore. But he did make exceptions.

Also on Friday, the state is lifting the requirement for maintaining 6 feet at all indoor and outdoor businesses such as restaurants, retail stores, gyms and casinos.

Businesses can still require masks:
Murphy said businesses and entities overseeing indoor spaces may continue to require face masks for employees, customers, and/or guests.

Masks will also still be required in:

Health care settings, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters

On airplanes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation

In transportation hubs such as airports and stations

Public-facing state offices, such as NJ MVC agencies

Worksites that are closed to the public, including warehousing and manufacturing facilities

Child care centers and facilities

Youth summer camps

Public, private, or parochial preschool program premises

Elementary and secondary schools, including charter and renaissance schools

Those who are not fully vaccinated are still "strongly encouraged" to follow CDC guidance and wear a face mask in any indoor setting.

"Please be responsible and do the right thing - for your own safety and your community's safety," Murphy said.
