Murphy told CNBC Monday morning that he 'will take some steps,' described as 'tweaking our parameters at the edges,' to help curb rising coronavirus case.
'They won't come close to what we were doing in the spring,' he said. 'This is not a lockdown.'

Casinos in Atlantic City will also not be permitted to serve food or alcohol during those overnight hours.
☑️Casinos must stop serving food/drinks at 10:00 PM
☑️All barside seating will be prohibited
☑️Restaurants may place tables closer than 6 feet ONLY if separated by barriers
☑️Individual fully-enclosed dining bubbles may be set-up for outside use
— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) November 9, 2020Indoor bar seating had up to this point had been covered under the state's indoor dining regulations, but it will now be prohibited.
The new restrictions, which will take effect Thursday, will not affect outdoor dining. Restaurants will be able to continue building out their outdoor dining, including setting up outdoor igloos.
Restaurants and bars are already limited to 25% indoor capacity, a restriction that is not expected to change.
Addressing indoor sports tournaments spreading the virus across state lines, the state will ban indoor interstate sports for elementary, middle and high school students. College and professional sports will not be affected.
NEW: Starting this Thursday, ALL interstate games and tournaments for indoor youth sports – up to and including high school – are prohibited.
It is simply not safe for teams to be crossing state lines at this time to participate in indoor competitions.
— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) November 9, 2020
The rules are being put into effect two weeks before Thanksgiving to combat indoor dining spread during the holiday season.
Private indoor gatherings remain the state's primary concern, but lacking enforcement power in private homes, the state will continue to ask residents to keep gatherings to immediate family members.
The state has had infection rates as high as 8% within this past week.
He will detail the changes in restrictions at 1 p.m. in Trenton.
Murphy also discussed news that Pfizer's vaccine may be 90% effective, according to preliminary data, urging caution.
He said that while the trials are 'really, really good news,' its six-month vaccine distribution timeline will not change the state's short-term reality.
'We are sort of in a six-month window here...where we have to battle against the COVID fatigue, stop letting our hair down with holidays coming up,' he said. 'So the answer is it doesn't change us in that window, but it's really really good news in the longer term.'
State Health Commissioner Judith Perisichelli told '60 Minutes' Sunday night that the first batch of vaccine from the federal government will be enough to inoculate just 10% of the state's high priority health care worker category.
She said a state survey of health care members found 60% of the physicians would get the vaccine, and just 40% of nurses.

Mayor Marty Small Sr. announced Thursday that the Jersey Shore town is auctioning the chance to push the button that will set off the implosion of the now-closed Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.
The city plans to donate the money raised to the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City.
'Personally, I'm a pretty ambitious guy. I want to raise at least a million dollars,' Small said in a news conference Thursday.
The funds will go toward expanding and sustaining the club's operations for its three sites across the city, Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City CEO Stephanie Koch told CNN.
The club serves as many as 1,200 children per year and has expanded its operations amid the pandemic to 12 hours a day, Koch said.

'No longer is the Boys & Girls Club a simple after-school program,' Koch said at the news conference, noting that the club now offers meals, academic enrichment and workforce development programs.
Originally scheduled to happen around New Year's Eve, the building's demolition is now set for early February. Bidding is already live online with 'a lot of action already,' the mayor said.

Trump's decadeslong relationship with Atlantic City has been marked by rocky finances and grandiose ambition. His most noted property, the Trump Taj Mahal hotel and casino -- which he dubbed 'the eighth wonder of the world' -- officially closed in 2016 with less fanfare.
By the time of its closure, Trump owned only the name attached to the Taj, with Icahn controlling the rest.
