New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said Oct. 21 he will self-quarantine after coming in “close proximity” to one of his senior staffers who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Murphy, 63, made the sudden announcement at a press conference on Camden County Community College’s main campus on Oct. 17. About 23 minutes into the event, the Democratic governor said he had just learned that he had been near someone who contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
