UPDATE: Murphy has since expanded and clarified the list of businesses that can stay open:



"It's no time to panic. But it's no time for business as usual," he said.

The orders took effect on Saturday at 9 p.m.

Murphy said he doesn't know when everything will reopen, including schools. It won't be next week, he said. The stay-at-home order could be in effect for weeks, he added, or it could be months.

Murphy also announced the launch of the New Jersey COVID-19 Information Hub, a new website available at covid19.nj.gov.

The order provides for certain exceptions, such as obtaining essential goods or services, seeking medical attention, visiting family or close friends, reporting to work or engaging in outdoor activities.

The order also prohibits all gatherings of individuals, such as parties, celebrations, or other social events. When in public, individuals must practice social distancing and stay at least six feet apart whenever possible, excluding immediate family members, caretakers, household members or romantic partners, he said.
