The announcement, scheduled for noon, is expected to be a “broad blueprint,” which, Murphy has said, would not likely have any dates attached to it. Murphy said he expects the state to open as a whole, not by region, and must take into account the higher levels of dense populations in the north compared to the south. The state has been under lock down orders for over five weeks. In previous days, Murphy said his plan may be “broadly similar” to that of Pennsylvania’s color-coded plan announced by Gov. Tom Wolf last week.
