As mentioned before, our COVID-19 numbers are reported to us from the Middlesex County Department of Health. Today we are at 363 positive cases.  As we all know, and as my colleague Mayor Cohen in East Brunswick points out, these numbers do not reflect actual disease as many people may be asymptomatic, have mild experiences, or are unable to be tested.  There is still a shortage of tests in our State and test results continue to lag 5 - 7 days.  

Please note: Monroe OEM has reviewed the locations of cases in Monroe (outside of the private long-term care facilities) and they are distributed throughout the town and there does not seem to be a cluster in any one location.

– Mayor Gerald W. Tamburro

“For the second day in a row, I am saddened to share with you that we have lost 11 members of our Monroe Township family as a result of the coronavirus. This is in addition to the losses in the long-term care facilities.  I am truly heartbroken. I would like to express our deepest condolences to each of these families. This disease is horrific and has taken a toll on our community.  It’s too much, too fast and so difficult to process because we can’t comfort each other or mourn our losses in the traditional manner. Please keep them in your prayers.”
