              MESSAGE FROM MAYOR TAMBURRO:  WE ALL NEED TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GET THROUGH THESE DIFFICULT TIMES

We have reached a very concerning milestone in the COVID-19 pandemic. Today we are reporting the single highest number of new positive cases for the week of December 3-9^th in Monroe Township since the beginning of this fight.  This trend is consistent with virus counts across the county, state and country.  I understand the overwhelming fatigue placed on all of us over the past nine months.  I feel it too.  But we cannot give up.  It is more important than ever to avoid indoor gatherings and close interaction with anyone outside of our immediate households.

We are optimistic that a vaccine is on the horizon but we recognize that we are many months away from it being fully available to the entire public.  We must bridge the next several months which may be very difficult.  Please remember, we are one community. We are not alone and I believe there will be better days ahead in 2021.  Let’s continue to support each other and reach out if you need help in any way.

REPUBLIC SERVICES, EPA, DEP AND MONROE TOWNSHIP REPRESENTAITVES WILL BE PANELISTS IN THIS UPDATE MEETING REGARDING THE BFI LANDFILL.  A PUBLIC QUESTION AND ANSWER PORTION WILL FOLLOW THE PRESENTATIONS.

MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR MURPHY:  “Everyone wants to know when this is going to be over, and when they can put their masks in a drawer and freely gather again with family and friends.  Our daily numbers tell us the answer:  not anytime soon,” said Governor Murphy.  “We are still weeks away from the first doses of a vaccine being ready for distribution to our health care workers.  We are months away from a vaccine being readily available for public distribution.  There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the increase in the number of cases and the increase in the number of patients in our hospitals.”
