July 4, 2021, Activities in Mendham Township

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

On Monday, May 17th the Governor signed an Executive Order eliminating the outdoor mask mandate altogether in settings open to the public. Additionally, there are no longer limits on outdoor gatherings. This news comes in time for proms, graduations, and Summer 2021! While many other states have lifted mask mandates as a result of the updated CDC guidance, Governor Murphy reaffirmed on the 17th that NJ will keep the mask mandate in place in public settings for the time being. We will continue to update you as more information becomes available. Last summer, our Recreation Department, Police Department, Fire Department, First Aid Squad, Department of Public Works, and Office of Emergency Management came together to make our July 4th activities a success, and this year will be no different! This year, we will kick-off July 4th weekend with the Township’s 2nd annual public fireworks show at Mosle Field on Friday, July 2nd. Entertainment and Activities will take place from 6:30pm - 10:00pm. The gates will open at 6:30pm. The fireworks will be set-off from behind the baseball diamond and, to ensure safety, there will be a 350-400 ft fallout area. All attendees will be seated on the football field. Like last year, this event is free to the public. If you or your business would like to sponsor<https://register.communitypass.net/reg/cat_program_class_detail.cfm?s=&t=&s…> the event, please email our Recreation Director David Guida at dguida(a)mendhamtownship.org. We will conclude our Township celebrations on Sunday, July 4th with a drive-by parade. The parade will start at 9:05am at Union Schoolhouse Road and end at the Mendham Township Elementary School. If you or an organization you are a part of would like to be part of the parade, please email me at sneibart(a)mendhamtownship.org. Have a good weekend, Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

Appointment Finder & NJ’s Predictive Modeling

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

This past Wednesday, the state unveiled a beta version of an Appointment Finder<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder> application on its COVD-19 Information Hub<http://covid19.nj.gov/>. This new tool aggregates information across different scheduling platforms across the state, multiple times per hour, helping individuals find appointments. Earlier this week, the New Jersey Department of Health also shared its latest predictive COVID-19 modeling that is guiding the state’s decision-making processes on reopening. The state’s moderate case scenario is predicting that on April 18th, NJ will report 5,445 new COVID-19 positive cases statewide and 2,669 hospitalizations. Under this scenario the state does not see daily new cases drop below 3,000 until the middle of June 2021 at the earliest, and the number of hospitalizations would not approach 1,000 until August 2021. This model takes into account the expected increases in vaccinations statewide and also assumes that the COVID-19 vaccines will average 95% in their efficacy against all variants of the virus. Although these are projections, they are not certainties and as we saw last spring, if we remain vigilant and continue social distancing, we can change the trajectory of these models. Although there is continued uncertainty ahead, as of yesterday morning, 4,474,993 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had been administered in NJ and there are 1,690,613 New Jerseyans who are now fully vaccinated. Additionally, next week the state expects to receive 551,320 COVID-19 vaccination doses which includes 131,600 doses of the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine. Also, this coming Monday April 5th, individuals in the following groups will become eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations: individuals aged 55-64, individuals aged 16+ with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, higher education educators and support staff, librarians and library support staff, and workers in the following jobs: communications, IT, media, real estate, building and home services, retail financial institutions, sanitation, laundry services, and utilities. As we move towards spring and the state continues to administer vaccination doses and lessen restrictions, we will continue providing updates. Have a good weekend, and Happy Easter!

Homebound Resident Information Needed

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

The Morris County Department of Health contacted the Township last night and asked us to submit a list of homebound residents that will need the COVID-19 vaccine administered at home by Monday afternoon. Luckily, many of you have already provided us with this information. If you or someone you know will need the COVID-19 vaccine administered at home, please send their information to me directly at sneibart(a)mendhamtownship.org by Monday, March 29th at 12:00pm. This coming Monday, the state of New Jersey expects to receive 494,430 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine - 267,930 Pfizer doses, 174,800 Moderna doses, and 51,700 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This will be an increase of 77,770 doses from this past week. Today, Governor Murphy reported that 3,798,523 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in NJ. He also announced that vaccine eligibility in NJ will expand again in April. On Monday, March 29th, frontline essential workers in the following industries will become eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations: food production, agriculture, food distribution, eldercare and support, warehousing and logistics, social services support staff, elections personnel, hospitality, medical supply chain, postal and shipping services, clergy, and the judicial system. On April 5th, individuals in the following groups will become eligible: individuals aged 55-64, individuals aged 16+ with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, higher education educators and support staff, librarians and library support staff, and workers in the following jobs: communications, IT, media, real estate, building and home services, retail financial institutions, sanitation, laundry services, and utilities. As many members of our community begin their spring holiday celebrations of Passover and Holy Week, I encourage you to take full advantage of the beautiful weather! As a reminder, the gathering limits are set at 25 individuals indoors and 50 individuals outdoors. Indoor gatherings for religious services must be limited to 50% of the room’s capacity. Have a good weekend and take care. Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

A Year Since the Stay-At-Home Order

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

Tomorrow will mark one year since Governor Murphy implemented the statewide Stay-At-Home Order and mandated all “non-essential” businesses to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thursday marked one year since New Jersey schools closed and transitioned to completely remote learning. Earlier this week, the NJ Department of Education reported that 142 schools are currently open for all in-person instruction, 534 are open for hybrid instruction, 37 districts are using some combination of in person, hybrid, or all-remote learning, and 98 are still full-time remote learning. I am so grateful that our Superintendents, Principals, Boards of Education, educators, parents, and other stakeholders continue to work diligently to come to the right decisions for Mendham Township. This kind of partnership is what has made our school districts among the very best in the entire country. As temperatures begin to climb, vaccination rates increase, and restrictions on NJ businesses continue to decrease, I am hopeful that we are on our way back. Yesterday, restaurants, indoor amusement and recreation venues, and personal care businesses were able to raise their indoor capacities to 50%. This past Monday, vaccine eligibility was expanded to include public and local transportation workers, public safety workers, migrant farm workers, members of tribal communities, and individuals experiencing homelessness and those living in shelters. This past week, the NJ Department of Health launched an effort towards vaccinating individuals 65 years and older. Since the last week of February, the percentage of individuals 75 years and older who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine increased from 33% to 58%. The NJ Vaccination Call Center is now fully operational. They have had 36,000 Individuals register for vaccinations, and they have made 14,000 appointments. Any senior can call the support line at 1-856-249-7007 to reschedule appointments, register or schedule a vaccine. Have a good weekend, and if you are able - try to get outside!

New Jersey Springs Forward

by mendhamtwprecreation＠lists.cit-e.net

Today marks one year since we declared a Local State of Emergency in Mendham Township. It has been a long year, plagued with much loss, grief, and uncertainty. As we prepare to spring our clocks forward tomorrow (Sunday) and New Jersey reports almost 3,000,000 vaccination doses administered across our state, we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. This past Wednesday, Governor Murphy announced that on Friday, March 19th, restaurants, indoor amusement and recreation venues, and personal care businesses can increase capacity to 50%. The state feels confident in these steps given the data that has been reported over the past several weeks - COVID-19 hospitalizations have been below 2,000 for the past 15 days. Additionally, the New Jersey Department of Health launched a vaccination scheduling support line this week to help seniors 75 or older who are having trouble scheduling vaccine appointments. Any senior, 75 or older, can call the support line at 1-856-249-7007 to reschedule appointments, register or schedule a vaccine. As we move towards spring and the state continues to administer vaccination doses and lessen restrictions, we will continue providing updates. Have a good weekend!
