Gov. Phil Murphy said this week that he is not inclined to issue the COVID mandates the state saw in earlier surges. His reluctance to enact tough measures is common among governor across the U.S.
Gov. Phil Murphy and other governors across the country took sweeping actions during earlier surges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many closed schools and ordered businesses shut down. They issued mask mandates, vaccine requirements and even quarantines in some places for people who had traveled to out-of-state hot spots.
But at his coronavirus briefing on Monday, Murphy indicated that renewed business shutdowns and near universal mask mandates were off the table, and instead of issuing new executive orders, he’s urging people to follow public health recommendations. “There’s no need to panic. Be calm. Be happy,” McMaster said. “We just had a great Christmas season. Business is booming.”
“I’m not sure the people that are refusing to wear a mask are going to wear one anyway, and we don’t have the ability to enforce it,” Hogan said. “So we’re just strongly encouraging people to wear the damn mask.”
