New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Tuesday reinstated a public health emergency to respond to the omicron-fueled surge in Covid cases.
The executive order allows for existing orders, like requiring masking in schools and daycare settings, to remain in effect. It restates the existing state emergency across New Jersey’s 21 counties, allowing agencies and departments to draw on state resources for Covid-related matters like vaccine distribution and testing.
