Posted March 10, 2021

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 821 confirmed cases. That is an increase of 26 new cases since last week. Of the 26 new cases 5 are hospitalized and 21 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 821 cases, 767 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 28 fatalities in East Hanover due to the coronavirus since the beginning of the Pandemic. I appeal to all of you to take this corona virus seriously. It is still 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. Also, the State of NJ has established a new phone number to register for the vaccine and it is only for senior citizens age 75 and older and that number is 856-249-7007.

If you have any questions, please call me on my cell at 973-418-5859. Thank you.
