The governor said the following will take effect on Thursday, Nov. 12:

• Restaurants, bars and lounges must close their indoor services from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Outdoor dining, takeout and delivery services may continue past 10 p.m.
• Casinos must stop serving food and drinks at 10 p.m., although gaming may continue.
• All bar-side seating will be prohibited.
• Restaurants may place tables closer than 6 feet but only if separated by plexiglass barriers.
• Fully-enclosed dining bubbles for individual groups may be set up for outside use.
• All interstate games and tournaments for indoor youth sports – up to and including high school – will be prohibited.

Gov. Murphy said that since last Thursday, the state has recorded 9,524 additional cases – an average of 2,381 each of the past four days.

“A second wave is here,” he said. “This is our reality. We must redouble our efforts and recommit to the practices that have gotten us this far – social distancing, washing our hands and wearing our masks.”
