On June 24, Governor Murphy announced that on July 2 museums, aquariums and libraries may reopen at 25 percent limited capacity. The Governor also announced that indoor recreation facilities may reopen – including indoor bowling alleys, batting cages, shooting ranges, and the arcades along boardwalks.

Indoor entertainment venues, such as movie theaters, performing arts centers, concert venues, and nightclubs, will remain closed.

Gyms and fitness centers may reopen for individualized training sessions by appointment.

Additional health and safety guidance will be released within the next several days.

As for future reopening announcements, Governor Murphy has yet to provide any timeline as to when health data will be at a level to progress to Stage Three of the state’s reopening plan, which would essentially lift all restrictions on business closures.

The CCSNJ will let you know when further guidance is released.
