Trenton NJ, With some states pausing their reopening processes due to spikes in COVID-19, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released updated rankings for the States with the Fewest Coronavirus Restrictions, as well as accompanying videos and audio files.
To identify which states have the fewest coronavirus restrictions, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 18 key metrics. Our data set ranges from whether the state has any penalties for non-compliance with COVID-19 legislation to whether the state has required face masks in public and health checks at restaurants. Below, you can see highlights from the report, along with a WalletHub Q&A.
Coronavirus Restrictions in New Jersey (1=Fewest, 25=Avg.):
- 31st – Requirement to Wear a Face Mask in Public
- 40th – Workplace Temperature Screening
- 31st – Reopening of Child-Care Programs
- 44th – Travel Restrictions
- 23rd – Reopening of Non-Essential Businesses
- 38th – Reopening of Restaurants and Bars
Note: Rankings are based on data available as of 12:30 p.m. ET on Monday, July 6, 2020.

4th most restrictions and one of only 2 states that have a downward trend for number of cases
yes , but the highest murder due to Murphy’s nursing home policy
We just hope the numbers don’t go crazy high again in New Jersey. And then the shits gonna hit the fan.
Cases mean nothing (except as a handy political hammer).

Deaths and hospitalizations are the numbers to look at
(and even these numbers are inflated to a degree as all deaths, regardless of primary cause are being counted as COVID deaths if the patient tested positive for COVID – even if they were non-symptomatic).
