New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy held his last regularly scheduled COVID briefing today. megbakertv reports.
The governor said there's no longer a need for weekly updates as COVID transitions from pandemic to endemic.
As CBS2's Meg Baker reported, Murphy spoke to the public more than 250 times since March 2020 to give updates on cases, vaccines and memorialize those who who were lost. "I have called each and every one of their families, speaking with well more than a thousand family members ... and we cried together over what had been lost and all are forever in my memory and our memory ... Hard to believe, of the more than 30,000 lives we've lost. So for all of them, let's do one final moment of silence," Murphy said.It was a sign of changing times. Monday, masks will no longer be mandated in schools. The governor will also lift the public health emergency.
"This action marks the end of this phase in our war against the coronavirus as we make the transition from pandemic to endemic," Murphy said. New Jersey Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli was a staple throughout the crisis. She reminded people that COVID information will remain available
