Hello:
This is East Hanover Mayor Joe Pannullo with our weekly update.

Please be advised the East Hanover Health Department has informed us that since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, East Hanover has had 767 confirmed cases. That is an increase of 12 new cases since last week. Of the 12 new cases 4 are hospitalized and 8 are home quarantined. We ask that you pray for those who have the virus and to pray for those families that have lost their loved ones.
Of the 767 cases, 728 cases are closed meaning that all appropriate protocols were taken; the isolation period is over and completed according to the NJ State Department of Health guidelines. Sadly, we report that there have been 27 fatalities in East Hanover due to the coronavirus since the beginning of the Pandemic. Please note that the State of NJ is updating its records going back over the last 8 months and included in the updates unfortunately they report 3 more fatalities from East Hanover going back to several months ago. I appeal to all of you to take this corona virus seriously. It is spreading throughout our area.
We thank you for continuing to patronize our local businesses. I would also like to thank all our first responders.
We remind you and encourage you to continue to practice safe social distancing and we strongly suggest the wearing of a mask.
Information about the vaccination including pre-registration information can be found on East Hanover’s Covid19 information hub located on our main webpage www.easthanovertownship.com. We ask that everyone be patient as the state begins the vaccine rollout.
