Since terminating the COVID-19 public health and state of emergency, and signing legislation expiring all COVID-19 executive orders, Governor Murphy continues to promote the vaccination programs to reach the goal of having 4.7 million New Jerseyans fully vaccinated by June 30. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) New Jersey ranks 6th among all states with 72% of all residents eligible for vaccination having received at least their first shot. There are approximately 1,800 vaccination sites across the state.
In addition, the State’s Department of Health released their guidance for summer camps with changes made pursuant to recent CDC updates. As part of the guidance, wearing a mask outdoors will not be required for either campers or staff. The State does strongly encourage unvaccinated individuals to wear a mask when in crowds and during situations that include sustained contact with others.
