At a Nov. 16 press conference regarding the virus – the press conferences will now be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday – Murphy announced another executive order against indoor gatherings, cited as being a prime reason for the coronavirus’s fall resurgence.
Indoor gatherings will be limited to 10 people, effective Nov. 17, and outdoor gatherings will be reduced to 150 people, effective Nov. 23.
