New Jersey Bans Indoor Sports

As New Jersey's number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb, Governor Phil Murphy on Monday announced a temporary ban on indoor sports.

Beginning December 5th, all indoor youth and adult sporting events and practices will no longer be allowed in the state, per Murphy's order. The ban will remain in place through January 2nd, he says.

The announcement came as state health officials reported a new coronavirus death toll: 15,164. "For perspective, the total number of New Jerseyans killed in both World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combined is roughly 18,300," Murphy says. "So in eight months, we’ve lost nearly as many New Jerseyans that died in a war in a 60 year span."
