New Jersey’s public and private pools will be permitted to reopen on June 22 when the state enters the second week of “Stage 2,” of the coronavirus recovery plan, Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday.
Gov. Phil Murphy is expected to give his coronavirus briefing in Trenton at 2:30 p.m. and said in a Tweet that additional guidelines on restrictions municipal pools and private pool clubs would need to observe will come Tuesday. Other Stage 2 reopening announcements have included capacity limits, requirements for mask and the need for social distancing.
Health experts have said COVID-19 cannot be spread through chemically-treated waters in pools. As long as the pool is properly disinfected with chlorine and bromine, it should inactivate the virus, according to the federal Center for Disease Control.
Overall, the number of new coronavirus deaths, cases, and hospitalizations are down dramatically since peaking in April. And Murphy has gradually peeled back his restrictions, with the state set to enter Stage 2 of its multiphase reopening June 15, when restaurants will be allowed to offer outdoor dining and nonessential retail will be permitted to welcome customers back inside, though at half capacity.
As part of the Stage 2 reopening plans, hair salons and barbershops will reopen with restrictions June 22. Gyms, libraries, museums and some government offices are also expected to reopen during the stage, though there is no specific timeline yet for those.

Child daycare centers in New Jersey can reopen June 15, outdoor, non-contact organized sports can resume June 22, and youth day camps can operate beginning July 6, all with restrictions.
Murphy also said live horse racing can return, without fans, as early as this weekend. And he said the state is hoping to allow larger indoor gatherings, including those at churches and other houses of worship, by the weekend of June 12.
