As New Jersey tries to combat the spread of coronavirus, new event cancellations and restrictions are announced every day. On Monday, Gov. Phil Murphy closed all schools, movie theaters, casinos and gyms, banned dining in at restaurants, and suggested a curfew for non-essential travel.

State officials hope the unprecedented measures will help limit the number of people exposed to COVID-19, which has so far infected at least 178 people in New Jersey and killed two.

And while many New Jerseyans are hunkered down at home with hand sanitizer and other supplies, the weekend showed that there are still a lot of people in the state who are ignoring advice to practice “social distancing.”

A St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl in Atlantic City drew crowds, a wedding and other events went on as planned in Jersey City’s Liberty Park, and people ate and drank in restaurants and bars all over the state.

“We want everybody home — not out,” Murphy said Monday.

Here’s a look at the restrictions put in place in New Jersey so far.

What businesses were ordered to close?

Murphy joined governors of New York and Connecticut in ordering all movie theaters, casinos, gyms, performing arts centers, night clubs, racetracks, fitness centers, and classes in New Jersey to close until further notice, beginning at 8 p.m. Monday night.

Racetracks and betting facilities including Meadowlands and Freehold Raceway are also closed, though online betting can continue.

Are large gatherings banned?

Murphy had suggested last week that large gatherings be canceled to avoid spreading the virus, but he made it official Monday.

Gatherings of 50 people or more are now banned in New Jersey, as well as New York and Connecticut.

What is still open?

State officials said that essential businesses, including supermarkets, pharmacies, medical offices, and gas stations, can stay open.

Restaurants and bars can offer online takeout and delivery.

Other non-essential businesses can also open during the day, but they have to close between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. and should do their best to practice social distancing between customers, the state said.

Most banks have not announced any changes in operations, but both Capital One and OceanFirst said they will be limiting service to drive-throughs or facilities that have glass barriers between tellers and customers.

Is there really a curfew in New Jersey?

Murphy stopped short of actually ordering a curfew in the state, but he told residents they should not leave their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless it is an emergency or essential travel.

State officials are also “strongly discouraging non-essential travel” in general, they said Monday.

Hoboken was the first city in New Jersey to order a curfew.

Are all schools and colleges in New Jersey closed?

While many private and public schools around the state were already closing and working on remote teaching capabilities, Murphy made it a statewide order Monday.

Starting Wednesday, all schools will be closed until further notice. That includes public and private pre-K through colleges and universities. In public schools alone, that means 1.4 million students and more than 115,000 teachers will now be staying home.

In some districts, virtual learning plans were thwarted in some cases by the fact that more than 250,000 students don’t have access to a computer or tablet at home, according to the state.

Murphy had said earlier it was inevitable that the schools would close. Even though young children appear to not be affected by the virus, they can carry and spread it to others.
