From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
As you can imagine, we constantly receive a variety of questions related to COVID-19 – however the most common questions have to do with the reopening of local businesses and the cancellation of community events.
Earlier this week, Governor Murphy announced “Stage 2” of his reopening plan. Due to the issuance of Stage 2, starting on June 15 non-essential retail businesses will be permitted to open their doors to customers and restaurants will be allowed to offer outside dining (both with limited capacity). Additionally, hair salons and barber shops are scheduled to reopen beginning June 22; however, we are still waiting to learn when gyms and fitness centers can reopen – which we hope will be very soon.
