Interstate Youth SportsAlso starting on Thursday, all interstate games and tournaments for indoor youth sports, up to and including high school, are prohibited. Murphy noted an increased risk in spreading COVID-19 when teams travel to and from other states to participate in indoor sporting events.
“These are the measures we are taking now, and they do not preclude us from taking further action or placing further restrictions on these in the near future,” Murphy said. “If we do, we anticipate they will be actions that are surgical in their approach.”
New Jersey has seen an average of more than 2,000 new COVID-19 cases per day over the past four days, and there are currently more than 1,500 people hospitalized for COVID-19 related reasons.
