And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

All right, today is Friday, May 28th.

Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning.

New Jersey lifted its statewide indoor mask mandate as it continues to ease COVID-19 restrictions.

Starting today, vaccinated people will no longer need to wear masks in most indoor settings. There are some exceptions. masks are still required in public-facing state offices, work sites that are closed to the public, including warehousing

and manufacturing facilities, health care settings, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters,

on airplanes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation in the transportation

hubs as well, including airports and train stations, child care centers and facilities,

youth summer camps, and in all schools.

All right, so just vaccinated people and in all schools. All right.

So just vaccinated people can be without their masks.

Right.

All right.

Governor Phil Murphy says those who are not fully vaccinated are strongly encouraged to

continue to wear masks in any indoor public setting.

If you've had one shot, Kathy, can you have the mask loosely hanging on your face?

That's when you're allowed to not cover your nose.

That's those people. Also on Friday, New Jersey is lifting the requirement for mandated six feet of social distancing in indoor and outdoor settings. Have you seen also the chin people? Like just the full on hanging? Just the chin. Yeah, they just have the chin cover. I think the chin trumps the nose.

Well, I will say sometimes I'm going to defend the chin people. The chin's fine. Just for a second because I often will wear my mask and then I'll pull it down and like take a drink or, you know, like if I get a phone call or something and, you know, they can't hear me through the mask or whatever. And like often I'm like oh, no, I didn't pull it back up. So I don't actually wear it on my chin.

Like, people working and stuff and are just full on doing that. Wait, so is it covering their mouth or no? No, not at all. This is their chin. This is not an indictment of the man because I like him. But Doc Rivers, I guess, is required to wear a mask while coaching the Sixers games.
