Gov. Phil Murphy is not pulling the trigger on tougher COVID-19-related restrictions just yet, but he acknowledged that rising case numbers in New Jersey could soon bring back mandates — like limiting indoor capacity. Murphy said “everything’s on the table” to stem the coronavirus.
On Friday, cases topped 6,000 for a second day, and state health officials announced two more cases due to the omicron variant of the coronavirus. Both cases involved residents in their thirties, a woman from Hudson County and a man from Middlesex County, bringing New Jersey’s official omicron case total to four.
