Murphy issues stay-at-home order for New Jersey

FOX 29's Marcus Espinoza reports on Gov. Phil Murphy's stay-at-home order for New Jersey residents.

Murphy issued a sharp warning about people congregating in defiance of the stay-at-home order.

“We are really damned unhappy” about such stories, the governor said. “And we’re going to take action.”

Murphy said the number of people allowed to gather together had gone “to zero."

“There’s too many people not paying attention to this,” the governor said, assuming anecdotal reports of people ignoring the order were correct. “We’ve about had it.”

Officials said prosecutors would be on call dealing with violations of the executive order.
