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!

Mayor, Mendham Township
