NJ to Jail People Violating Stay-at-Home Order; Can Only Leave Home for Med. Care, Food, Gas

The governor of New Jersey warned today (March 24, 2020) that "folks need to be jolted," so his attorney general is threatening jail for people who leave their homes in violation of the governor's order yesterday, according to t he WND website.

Gurbir Grewal, the state's attorney general, said those who violate the stay-at-home order could be jailed or fined up to $1,000.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed executive orders that ban unapproved social gatherings and close all "non-essential" businesses.

All  retail "storefront and/or brick-and-mortar premises" are shuttered, and "all recreational and entertainment businesses must close to the public." People are allowed to leave home only to seek medical care or to get food or gasoline.
