Beaches on Jersey Shore start reopening with restrictions

摘要

Joanna Eichert longs for the summer days of years gone by at the Jersey Shore, which she recalls as "very crowded and very relaxing." But with New Jersey's governor giving shore towns the go-ahead to begin reopening their beaches amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, it remains to be seen whether this summer will be either of those things. Yesterday afternoon, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy issued long-awaited guidance to officials in shore towns on reopening beaches, directing them to set occupancy limits, require 6 feet of space between beachgoers except family members or couples, and prohibit groups of 10 or more from congregating on the beach.
