What’s still open after Phil Murphy shut down most or much of New Jersey on Saturday (effective 9 p.m.)? There are obviously a ton of exceptions (including essential government offices, law enforcement, and utility/power company workers) and a few dozen private sector industries deemed too important to close completely. Traveling on the Turnpike? Rest stops are still open; you just can’t hang out to eat inside.
Here’s a list:
–
- Medical facilities (your dentist and therapist included)
