Malls throughout New Jersey were ordered closed by Gov. Phil Murphy as part of the state’s aggressive social distancing measures.

U.S. stock futures fell by the maximum allowed on March 18 and international indexes tumbled, as the financial turmoil sparked by the novel coronavirus continued.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority will hold public hearings this week on a proposed toll hike for a new capital plan of $24 billion over the next eight years. The plan includes 24 projects on the New Jersey Turnpike and 29 on the Garden State Parkway that include pavement “preservation,” widening projects and a $900 million effort to convert all tolls on both highways to E-ZPass and pay-by-mail. Tolls will rise an average of $1.30 per trip on the Turnpike and 30 cents per trip on the Parkway. Politico NJ

Hoboken ordered non-essential businesses such as barbershops and nail salons closed.  Residents were asked to self-quarantine as much as they can with city officials taking a “gentle approach” to enforcement but want people to maintain a six-foot separation in public and to not cluster in groups of more than five.  The Jersey Journal

The Morris County Courthouse closed until further notice after a courthouse employee reported being exposed to the coronavirus while socializing with a friend outside the building.
