Gov. Phil Murphy’s front office is in quarantine after two of his senior staffers tested positive for COVID-19. The governor is also isolating at home with his wife through this coming weekend following an outing with staffers and friends at a Hoboken beer garden, where Murphy removed his mask to have a drink. Contact tracers are trying to follow the leads and more coronavirus tests are scheduled. As Senior Correspondent Brenda Flanagan reports, some are calling for total transparency.
