TRENTON – Gov. Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 151 June 4, which extends the public health emergency declared March 9 through Executive Order No. 103, extended April 7 through Executive Order No. 119, and extended again May 6, through Executive Order No. 138.
According to a release, under the Emergency Health Powers Act, a declared public health emergency expires after 30 days unless renewed.
“As we move forward with our restart and recovery plan, maintaining access to all resources available is essential,” said Murphy. “Extending the public health emergency allows us to continue to work to save lives, while safely and securely reopening our state’s economy.”
Executive Order No. 151 extends all Executive Orders issued under the governor’s authority under the Emergency Health Powers Act. It also extends all actions taken by any Executive Branch departments and agencies in response to the Public Health Emergency presented by the COVID-19 outbreak.
