    Restaurants and Other Venues Can Increase to 50% Capacity Next Week
    Gov. Phil Murphy announced today that restaurants, personal care, and recreation and amusement businesses can increase their indoor customer capacity limits to 50% on March 19. These businesses were previously limited to 35% indoor capacity for customers.
    EO Pending 

    Updated 3.3.21

    The Town of Morristown will follow the Governor’s Executive Order regarding closing time for food and beverage establishments and does not intend to impose any new local restrictions on the hours of operation.  However, they will continue to monitor compliance and if the Town notices violations by establishments of the Executive Order, they reserve the right to revisit whether local restrictions are necessary.

    Highlights

    • Effective 8 a.m. on Friday, February 5th, 2021.
    • More Information: https://business.nj.gov/
      • Indoor Capacity To Increase from 25% to 35% for Select Businesses
