Update for NJ Businesses from the NJ Chamber of Commerce

The Road to Recovery -  New Jersey is close to Stage 2 of the recovery plan , Gov. Phil Murphy said. It could include expanding openings of retail, allowing restaurants to open outdoor seating, permitting personal care businesses like hair salons to operate on a limited basis and maybe indoor dining, museums and libraries. The governor said he will make an “important announcement” during his 2:30 p.m. briefing. (ROI-NJ) 

Child Daycare Guidelines - When child daycare centers in New Jersey reopen on June 15, they'll be required to conduct temperature checks on both kids and staff, and limit class sizes. Children will be encouraged - though not required - to wear masks.  Here are the new guidelines . (nj.com) 

New From the CDC - The CDC recently issued  recommendations for employers to prevent the spread of the coronavirus  when they reopen their offices. Among them: temperature and symptom checks for employees; place desks six feet apart or consider erecting plastic shields; remove seats in common areas; and wear face coverings at all times.

Emergency Borrowing Under the Microscope -  Emergency borrowing legislation  that Gov. Murphy wants lawmakers to enact so the state can deal with revenue losses caused by the pandemic is scheduled to get its first committee review in the Assembly today. The legislation allows for $5 billion in state bonds, which would make it one of the largest debt issues in New Jersey history. (NJ Spotlight)
