"I must again pull back the reins," New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said today as he restricted indoor gatherings to 10 people, down from 25. The move closes many nonessential indoor businesses and requires the wearing of masks outside homes, with limited exceptions. Philadelphia banned all indoor dining at restaurants and indoor gatherings of any size, public or private, of people from different households, starting this Saturday. Fourteen men were charged earlier this year in an alleged plot to kidnap the governor in anger over her Covid-19 restrictions.
