“In support of Gov. (Phil) Murphy's 'stay home' executive orders and to further protect our public employees and residents, I have instructed the borough administrator to lock the beach crossover gates until further notice,” Mayor Anthony Vaz said on Facebook.
The borough has not closed the boardwalk, but that could change, Vaz said on Tuesday.
"We’re going to watch the next couple of days," Vaz said.
"I was up on the boardwalk this morning, and only saw a couple of people there jogging and walking. If that changes, if we see that are going to get hundreds and hundreds and thousands of people if that happens, I'll make a decision about what to do."
