TRENTON, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- After joining New York State in adding four additional states to its quarantine list, Gov. Phil Murphy on Tuesday said that the state will not fine out-of-state travelers who break New Jersey's travel advisory.
"New York and New Jersey do things a little bit differently," the governor said during a radio interview. "I don’t know that we will be fining people. But we are aggressively pursuing public relations and begging people for personal responsibility."
If traveling from "a hotspot, we need to know it, you need to self-quarantine, you need to get tested," he adds
During his briefing on Tuesday, the governor reported 423 new cases of coronavirus and an additional 28 deaths.
Murphy also reported 888 hospitalized patients statewide.
He also said that 149 patients were in intensive care and 79 using ventilators.
He urged residents to get tested, saying that the state has the capacity to do so.
