Nor'easter Impacts In Cinnaminson: School Closure, Vaccine Update

CINNAMINSON, NJ — The Cinnaminson Public School District will be in a full-remote learning environment again on Tuesday, and the state's COVID-19 vaccination "mega-site" at the Moorestown Mall will be closed again as a winter storm continued to pound the state.

The state's vaccination program at the former Lord & Taylor's store in the Moorestown Mall will not take appointments for a second straight day, Gov. Phil Murphy said on Monday.

Virtua will reschedule appointments that were supposed to take place on Monday and Tuesday during extended hours later in the week, Murphy said.

The Vaccination Call Center will remain open to pre-register individuals, answer questions, and provide contact information for sites. It is not currently scheduling appointments until the storm's impact is assessed. To reach the Vaccination Call Center dial 855-568-0545.

"All Cinnaminson Township Schools will be closed for in-person instruction on Tuesday, February 2, 2021, due to inclement weather," the district said on its website. "All students will learn remotely following a single session schedule. A communication will follow from your building principal with a reminder of the single session schedule and any building-specific updates."

Burlington County's second dose vaccine clinic scheduled for Monday has also been postponed. Appointments are being rescheduled. Burlington County's COVID-19 testing site at Rowan College at Burlington County in Mount Laurel will also be closed Tuesday to clear the parking lots and roads. Testing will resume on Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and an additional testing day is being added Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A Code Blue Weather Emergency is in effect for Burlington County from 7 p.m. Monday through 7 a.m. Friday.

A Code Blue declaration is made in Burlington County when frigid weather conditions pose a threat of serious harm or death to individuals without shelter.

During the declaration, the county provides for short-term sheltering in clean, safe locations. The declaration was made as a winter storm blanketed the state.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, people will also be sheltered in separate rooms to guard against the spread of coronavirus. Residents in need of shelter are encouraged to call 211 for assistance.

"Temperatures are dropping, so we're encouraging all those in need of help to reach out," Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson said. "Our Code Blue sheltering program is ready, and we don't want anyone to have to spend the night outdoors or in unsafe conditions, especially with the coronavirus still active."

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through 10 a.m. Tuesday, as an additional 3 to 7 inches of snow and ice accumulation are expected over that time. Read more here: Here's How Much Snow Burlington County Saw On Sunday
