Updated Protocols in Mendham Township - August 2021

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced its updated guidance for fully vaccinated people<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html> last week, Morris County has evolved from a county experiencing “moderate” COVID-19 transmission to that of “substantial” COVID-19 transmission. In an effort to keep residents, township employees, and volunteers safe, in Mendham Township, we have updated our operating protocols. As long as Morris County is within the “substantial or high transmission zones” (per the CDC’s data tracker<https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view>), the Township will be asking members of the public who enter municipal buildings to wear a mask. As the Delta Variant continues to work its way across our state, on Monday the NJ Department of Health Commissioner announced that there has been a rise in active outbreaks in long-term care facilities. Two weeks ago, there were 18 reported outbreaks but as of Monday, August 2nd the Commissioner reported that there were 38 active outbreaks in long-term care facilities in NJ. While the percentage of vaccinated staff in NJ’s long-term care facilities has increased, in some facilities the percentage is as low as 33%. On Friday, the Governor signed Executive Order 252<https://nj.gov/infobank/eo/056murphy/pdf/EO-252.pdf>, which requires workers in certain healthcare and “high-risk” facilities to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by September 7, 2021 or be subject to weekly COVID-19 testing at a minimum. The state believes that this order will strengthen the protection against the spread of COVID-19 in some of NJ’s most vulnerable populations. Governor Murphy also held a press conference yesterday where he announced that all students, educators, staff, and visitors will be required to wear masks inside all Kindergarten - 12th Grade school buildings, regardless of vaccination status, for the start of the 2021 - 2022 academic year. As of today, there are 5,349,147 individuals who live, work, or study in NJ fully vaccinated, but about 42% of NJ’s population remains unvaccinated including children under the age of 12, who are not yet eligible. Based on state data covering July 12th - July 19th, roughly 80% of all positive tests were from people not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Governor Murphy stressed on Monday that 95% of all new COVID-19 hospitalizations and 100% of COVID-19 related deaths during that same period were of individuals who were not fully vaccinated.

Mendham Township Carry In, Carry Out Policy

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Mendham Township: Carry In, Carry Out Policy Some of Mendham Township's recreational facilities (hiking trails, parks, playgrounds and fields) do not have garbage or recycling bins. When you visit, you will need to take your garbage and recyclables home with you. The parks and trails belong to all of us and we need to care for them and keep them clean. Removal of the garbage and recycling containers eliminates the mess that they create, while also keeping our recreation areas safe for the humans that visit them and the wildlife that inhabit them. Kindly leave the trails better than you found them.

New CDC Guidance for Areas of High & Substantial Transmission

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

On Thursday, July 27th, the state reported over 1,000 new COVID-19 positive cases, which was the first time that New Jersey has exceeded a count of 1,000 new positive cases in a single day in more than two and a half months. This past Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html>. This guidance recommends that masks be worn in indoor public settings in areas of high and substantial transmission, regardless of vaccination status. Based on the CDC’s data tracker<https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view>, this guidance refers to nearly two-thirds of all counties in the United States and 10 NJ counties. Currently, Monmouth County is the only county in NJ which has a high transmission rate, while Bergen, Essex, Union, Middlesex, Ocean, Burlington, Atlantic, Gloucester, and Passaic counties have substantial transmission rates. The CDC announced this recommendation based on new cases per 100,000 people, test positivity rates over the previous seven days, and new data that was published in the in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report<https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm?s_cid=mm7031e2_w>. This report found that the Delta variant resulted in similarly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people, which raises a concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant can transmit the virus. In the state’s most recent COVID-19 Variant Surveillance Report<https://www.nj.gov/health/cd/documents/topics/NCOV/COVID_19_Variant_Report_…>, the Delta Variant accounts for approximately 75% of NJ’s new COVID-19 positive cases. Although NJ has among the highest vaccination rates in the nation - about 70% of the vaccine-eligible population in NJ is vaccinated, there are still 4 million people in NJ who remain unvaccinated. The CDC has highlighted that Americans between 12 and 29 are contracting COVID-19 at the highest rates while being the least protected. In NJ, only 42% of those 12 - 17 have received at least one dose of the vaccine. The NJ Department of Health Commissioner continues to stress the importance of increasing the vaccination rate among 12 - 17 year olds due to the potential of this group coming into contact with the population of children under 12 who are not yet eligible to get vaccinated.
