New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy suggested that people should practice social distancing in their own homes due to the CCP virus, becoming perhaps the first official to make such a recommendation.

Murphy said during a press conference this week: “If you do not need to be out, then we need you to stay at home. Please, God, stay at home. And even when you are at home, keep your distance between yourself and other family members,” according to Fox 5 in New York.
