IMPORTANT UPDATES: We’ve received 19 new presumptive positive test results since yesterday, bringing our cumulative statewide total to 69.
We continue to work alongside local and county health officials, our hospitals, and our public health workforce to closely monitor the situation across New Jersey so we can take aggressive action to mitigate the spread of illness.
We’re pleased by the House's passage last night of the federal response bill, and also by @realDonaldTrump’s support for it. We urge the Senate to pass it immediately so we can keep moving forward without delay.
We continue to work with our federal partners, from @CDCgov and individual Departments, to get the guidance and support we need to ensure the health and safety of our residents.
Last night, we received word that nationwide regulatory relief has been given to the trucking industry to allow supplies to flow – from medical supplies to our public health workers, to groceries and supplies to markets.
.@DrLRepollet and @NewJerseyDOE continue to work with our school districts toward the inevitable extended shutdown of our schools.
The guidance and recommendations of our administration regarding “social distancing” still stands. We continue to urge, as strongly as we can, the cancellation of public gatherings in excess of 250 people.
We're continuously monitoring the situation in real time, and we will make any necessary announcements as warranted. We are committed to being proactive, and to getting through this together.
