    New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy issued an executive order Wednesday requiring people to wear face masks outdoors when they can’t socially distance, in addition to the existing rules for indoor masks.

    Certain exceptions apply: Kids under 2 don’t have to wear them. Face coverings aren’t required for people eating or drinking at an outdoor dining establishment. They’re also excused in cases where mask-wearing would inhibit health or safety.

    “Requiring masks outdoors is a step I had hoped we would not have to take,” Murphy said Wednesday. “By and large, New Jerseyans have been outstanding in their compliance But, unfortunately, we’ve been seeing a backslide in compliance in New Jersey and across our nation.”
