Sunday evening, I participated in a conference call with the Governor’s office and mayors from Cape May, Atlantic, and Ocean Counties to review the latest executive orders from the Governor.
The Governor’s executive orders require New Jersey residents to remain at home other than for essential activities, such as grocery shopping, picking up takeout food, trips to the pharmacy or for medical attention, travel to work, or to engage in outdoor activities, as long as social distancing guidelines are adhered to (6 feet of separation between persons).
The list of businesses currently permitted to operate, and which may be accessed by the public, is listed below:
-- Grocery stores, farmer’s markets and other food stores;
-- Pharmacies;
-- Medical supply stores;
-- Gas stations;
-- Convenience stores;
-- Stores within healthcare facilities;
-- Hardware and home improvement stores;
-- Banks and other financial institutions;
-- Laundromats and dry-cleaning services;
-- Stores that sell supplies for children under five years old;
-- Pet stores;
-- Liquor stores;
