“We encourage all employers to do the right things for their specific workplaces,” the governor said. “While we are rescinding some requirements, that doesn’t mean we don’t expect you to be flexible and to work with employees — particularly those who are juggling family obligations such as child care.”

A joint report by the Bridgewater-based office goods firm Brother International and Focus NJ found that 65% of businesses will allow some form of out of office work following the pandemic, or are currently considering such a move.

Place your bets! As of June 4, the latest round of COVID-19 business restrictions are lifting across gambling establishments, and the city is also rolling back restrictions for in-person events.

Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City and Resorts Hotel Casino will offer the shots beginning June 5, according to a joint announcement from AtlantiCare health network and the Casino Association of New Jersey.

New Jersey is one of just a few states maintaining an indoor mask requirement despite recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control that fully vaccinated people, in most circumstances, do not have to wear face coverings indoors. While continuing the rule caused confusion among many business owners and workers, some say it’s a simpler approach than the alternative – requiring masks only on unvaccinated residents.

At the peak of the pandemic last spring, Atlantic Health System was treating 900 patients. And since the start of the vaccine rollout, it has been at the forefront of getting shots into state residents' arms, working with the state to run the mega-site in Morris County.
