3. Take a mask break.

Please see below for rules covering people who have been fully vaccinated (i.e., received their second shot or the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two weeks ago).

​

No vaccine is 100% effective and the COVID-19 vaccines' ability to prevent transmission of variants is still unclear. Therefore, fully vaccinated people must still follow certain requirements.

As of May 28, the mandate requiring masks to be worn while in public indoor spaces will no longer apply. The indoor social distancing requirement will also be lifted.

​

Businesses and most entities may continue to require visitors and employees to wear masks and to maintain six feet (or a lesser amount) of social distance.

​

See how far we have come since March 2020 on this reopening timeline.

People who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear a mask outdoors or, if visiting with other fully vaccinated people, in private indoor spaces.

​

Fully vaccinated people also:

​

• Do not need to quarantine after having close contact with someone with COVID-19, as long as they remain asymptomatic – exceptions exist for individuals living in high-risk congregate settings that can be found in NJ DOH's recommended minimum quarantine time frames.

• Do not need to quarantine or get tested before/after domestic travel unless otherwise required by their destination.

• Do not need to wear masks at small private gatherings, such as at their homes with family and friends.

• Do not need to wear masks outdoors.
