N.J. to extend COVID public health emergency for at least another month, Murphy says

While that will continue the statewide mask mandate for another month, Murphy also announced Monday the state will“Later this week, we will extend the public health emergency by 30 days to allow for this mask mandate to continue until then and then be responsibly lifted,” Murphy said duringMurphy stressed once again that the state is “not going to manage COVID to zero.”

“We have to learn how to live with COVID as we move from a pandemic to an endemic phase of this virus,” he added. Murphy’s announcements come amid an ever-growing backlash from Republicans who are angry over how the governor has issued sweeping orders to combat the pandemic the last two years. There has also been pushback from a few of Murphy’s fellow Democrats.that would curtail the emergency powers of any New Jersey governor and give the state Legislature a greater say in such matters.

why? what possible 'science' is backing that decision? An 'emergency' does not last for 2 freaking years. This is clearly, and only, a power play for him.

2 weeks to stop the spread

Public health emergency extended for at least another month, but masks off in school decided already? Is it a public health emergency or not?

2 years already, forget it.

This man should be in prison… not making shitty decisions for us.

......another month more! Like the heroin addict that just needs “1 more shot”.

Unbelievable 😡

Your headline is misinformation and should be changed. “NJ” didn’t extend anything, Governor Murphy extended the COVID public health emergency without legislative discussion or collaboration

Lift your unethical healthcare worker mandate 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The most effective mitigation policies in the country. Thanks , GovMurphy

Murphy another clueless suit…

The only people in NJ who ever faced a public health emergency were nursing home residents, directly caused by our imperious Governor. The rest of this nonsense has been about control...people & money

Everyone knew he would do this.

And he just lost my vote .. Disgusted

🖕🖕🖕govmurphy

Can anyone explain why emergency measures have been needed for almost 2 years instead of having the legislature involved? Most of the measures implemented under 'emergency' powers haven't been immediate changes anyway.

He just can’t let go of that power. It’s over Phillip, get used to it.
