Gov. Phil Murphy expects to raise the limits to indoor gatherings starting the second weekend of June.

During his daily press briefing on May 29, Murphy stated “As long as our health metrics continue to trend in the right direction, I anticipate being able to raise the limits on indoor gatherings in a way that will allow for greater indoor religious services for the weekend of June 12.”

Indoor gatherings are currently limited to 10 people at a time with social distancing. Churches have recently begun to reopen their doors for private prayer. Media reports over the Memorial Day weekend noted some church services were held in New Jersey in excess of that amount, including one that allegedly had an attendance of over 100 people.

Faith Communities 

It was a subject Murphy said he raised in a conversation President Donald Trump the day before in a phone call. Trump had previously stated houses of worship should be allowed to more fully reopen.

The governor pledged to work with faith communities so proper safeguards are in place before the doors of houses of worship open. 

“Our houses of worship are cornerstones of our communities, often rooted in historical and cultural tradition,” said Murphy. “We want them to be strong and safe. This is especially meaningful in our communities of color, which have been hit particularly hard.”

Safe Openings

The first-term Democratic governor said state officials have been working with faith leaders to prepare them to reopen their doors to welcome attendees in a safe way. 

“We don’t want any opening to have an adverse impact on our communities, and we know some faith institutions are not ready to open, and we will work with you and respect when you feel it is safe to do so,” stated Murphy.

Daily Data

As of May 30, the cumulative number of coronavirus cases in New Jersey reached 159,608 with 910 new cases and 113 new deaths, bringing that total to 11,634.
