Governor Phil Murphy this afternoon endorsed Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s advise for protesters who concentrated in Newark this past Saturday.

“If you’re in close promity, you should get tested,” Murphy told reporters today at the War Memorial.

The mayor’s original exhortation:

“If you were downtown at that protest in any capacity, whether you’re a cop, a civilian, whether you were cleaning up, whether you were helping out whether you were part of the clergy, whatever you were doing go get tested immediately,” Baraka said during a Facebook Live.
