The reopening of indoor dining, movie theaters and indoor entertainment venues is a positive step for the New Jersey economy and the employees in these industries. While we believe it would have been desirable to reopen these businesses sooner, it is time to move forward. Everyone should continue to comply with the medical guidelines outlined by Gov. Murphy and health officials so more businesses can reopen or ramp up to their pre-COVID levels, thus achieving full Phase 3 implementation, and putting more of our citizens back to work.
Now that more and more businesses are opening, the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce urges all businesses and consumers in this state to “Buy NJ” and patronize New Jersey businesses when and where possible.
