(Worthy News) – New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy lifted restrictions on church services and protests Tuesday, a day after he violated his own stay-at-home order to join a demonstration against racial injustice.

“Given the growing body of evidence showing the reduced risk of transmission of coronavirus outdoors, we believe the appropriate rule prioritizes individuals‘ right to speak and worship freely,” Murphy said during a press conference.

Murphy’s new rules, which allow for 50 people or 25% capacity at a church, follow prolonged protests and lawsuits after the state became the last to maintain a ban on in-person church services entirely. Many state lawmakers criticized him Monday after he joined protesters at a rally after the death of George Floyd. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
