On April 27, Governor Phil Murphy announced his plan to reopen New Jersey's economy.

The plan, entitled "The Road Back" will have six guiding principles for reopening:

• Sustained reductions in new COVID19 cases & hospitalizations
• Expand testing capacity
• Implement robust contact tracing
• Secure safe places for isolation
• Responsible economic restart
• Ensure NJ’s resiliency

However, Governor Murphy specifically noted that only after the first four items are accomplished will the last two items – “responsible economic restart” and “ensure NJ’s resiliency” – be the focus of the reopening plan.

Tomorrow the Governor will announce the members of the Governor’s Restart and Recovery Commission, a group of economists, business leaders, labor leaders, and health care experts that will help implement the measures outlines in “The Road Back” plan.
