Murphy expands on guidelines for indoor dining issued today.
NEW: Today, I’m signing an Executive Order that will allow indoor dining to resume:
☑️Effective 6:00 AM on Friday, September 4th
☑️At 25% capacity
☑️With social distancing in place
Our goal is to ensure this step is done properly to prevent the kind of spikes we saw in other states.
☑️If you’re dining at a restaurant that provides table service, you will only be able to order while seated at your table
☑️Only staff can bring you your food or beverage
☑️If you’re seated at a table, you cannot go to the bar to get another drink or place an order for a dish
☑️Restaurants that provide food service at their bars may allow patrons to dine at the bar – provided that all diners are kept at proper social distances
☑️Any group seated together at the bar is capped at four individuals
We’re mandating strict ventilation requirements:
☑️Windows must be opened to ensure a proper flow of fresh air into the dining areas
☑️Air conditioner units must be turned so that they’re allowing for the maximum amount of outdoor air to be introduced to the dining area
We’ve been working hard for several months to get to this point.
Our job now is to ensure that this reopening only leads to future announcements expanding the indoor capacity limits, and that we do not have to take a step backward.
Everyone must pull together.
What if I half stand up while sipping a drink, do I need to put half the mask over my face?
Mike Wren put mask on and poke a small hole for a straw????
Soooo i guess covid only spreads while standing or walking. Yep makes total sense
Khristina Franklin

Khristina Franklin can’t be happy, just like to complain like a Karen
Chris Barry u right… im not happy because it’s ridiculous. We should have been open months ago! U r just a ????????????????

Let’s see if he changes his mind Thursday night.
Good luck enforcing anything
Yeah ok , gfy you goofy prick of a governor , let the Jewish community do what ever they want because they vote for your jackass , I’m done with all your bullshit open up already and go away .
A lot of restaurants won’t bother opening. For some, turning a profit with 25% capacity is damn near impossible. Not every restaurant can get away with charging over $60 per entree like your favorite one, Phil.
Danke Schön mein führer
This governor is a certifiable jackass
Hey Murphy, Shove the mask up your wazoo !
He can’t, his head is up there.
Remember this guys BS when he seeks re-election
Its stupid Cdc lied about the deaths this thing is done
What if I feel like standing up eating and drinking? Do I get to punch a hole in the mask? At least I’ll have the mask on!
It’s like a prison movie …. bend over
Works for me!
So stupid
I’m surprised that he didn’t set a time limit on how long you could eat!
Guy Collesides shh… don’t give him ideas????
He makes everything sound like a barrel of fun
Im surprised that mn can get his head thru a door hes so full of himself!
Go away Murphy! Overkill!
They need to own a banquet hall to comply, They are better off with outside dining. Does the small guys no good.
Phuck phaced phil
Dump murphy 2021
Fuck this mask shit
Ok puppets, you stand there, you sit here z you put your mask on, you can take yours off, you can’t sip your drink, you back up, you wait outside, you go stand in the corner, meanwhile, I’ll go where and when I want to… Governor Phil Murphy, fck you ????????
You are still a fk face douchebag
Just sayin……..
Are there rules for the extra surcharge or convenience fee I see some places charging? Like the Crystal Diner on rt 37 and Main.
