New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said he will mandate wearing masks outdoors for people among crowds in public places as data show the virus again is spreading.

The order won’t apply to people if they’re alone or with family members, Murphy said at a Trenton news conference. “If you’re in your bubble with your family or sitting by yourself or doing something on your own, that’s not our focus.”
