New Jersey Raising Limit On Outdoor Gatherings To 200, Gov. Phil Murphy Announces
TRENTON, N.J. (CBS) -- New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is raising the limit on general outdoor gatherings, effective Friday. The limit will rise to 200 people.

They include workers in agriculture, food and warehouses, as well as clergy.
