A Message from Mayor Sarah Neibart: Morris County Office of Health Management Confirms First Positive Cases of COVID-19 in Mendham Township

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Message from Mayor Sarah Neibart Monday, March 23, 2020 Dear Mendham Township Residents: Yesterday, Sunday, March 22, 2020, I was notified by the Morris County Office of Health Management that six Mendham Township residents tested positive for COVID-19 Coronavirus. Names, addresses and personal identifying information of these residents cannot be released or shared with the community. The Morris County Office of Health Management is the lead agency for investigating each case involving a positive COVID-19 person, including all close contacts. If it is determined that a resident was in close contact with someone infected with COVID-19, the Morris County Office of Health Management will contact those individuals. It is important for everyone to monitor their health and consult with a primary care physician if exhibiting the following symptoms - cough, fever, tiredness, shortness of breath and difficulty with breathing. Our public health officials and first responders are working around the clock to make sure we are closely monitoring this situation, and I will continue to provide updates as they become available. An increase in positive cases is not an indicator that our social distancing methods are not working, but that the availability of testing sites is increasing. Non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as social distancing, are necessary public health methods to reduce a sharp incline in cases in an effort to flatten the curve to reduce the overwhelming burden on our healthcare system. It may take several days to even weeks before we see the full results of social distancing. Residents are reminded that a minimum of 6 feet from others is recommended for social distancing. It is more important than ever to take social distancing seriously and limit your community movement. As the weather gets warmer and as more people are outside, we will be monitoring the trails and parks to make sure they are not overcrowded. If you take a hike, please remain at least six feet away from any companions and do not go out in groups of more than four individuals (other than family members). Also, please refrain from block parties and community hangouts. Playdates are also discouraged. I urge our residents to: * Stay home if you are sick. * Limit close contact with people who are sick. * Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. * Avoid handshakes. Try an elbow bump * Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (sing Happy Birthday). * If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. * Clean and disinfect frequently-touched objects and surfaces like faucets, doorknobs, microwave numbers, cell phones, toys, etc. * Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve (not your hands). * Get a flu shot to prevent the flu if you have not done so this season. * Stay informed by visiting these helpful websites: Visit New Jersey’s COVID-19 Information Hub: https://covid19.nj.gov/ NJDOH website: https://www.nj.gov/health/cd/topics/ncov.shtml CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Morris County Office of Health Management: https://health.morriscountynj.gov/ It is important to remember that this is a newly identified virus and information concerning COVID-19 continues to evolve daily; therefore, the messaging will change as the situation evolves. Due to the evolving nature of information, residents are encouraged to call NJ 211 with questions or concerns about COVID-19 by calling 2-1-1 or call 1-800-962-1253 (24/7). NJ 211 is New Jersey’s statewide, comprehensive, information and referral service operated by United Way of New Jersey. Residents can also text NJCOVID to 898-211 to receive text information and stay informed. To receive live text assistance, residents can text their zip code to 898-211. Mendham Township residents can also call the Morris County Office of Health Management’s COVID-19 hotline at (973) 829-8250. Please note this line is only open Monday – Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

A Message from Mayor Sarah Neibart

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Message from Mayor Sarah Neibart Saturday, March 21, 2020 Today, Governor Phil Murphy signed an Executive Order that directs New Jersey residents to STAY HOME unless obtaining essential goods or services, seeking medical attention, visiting family or close friends, reporting to work, or engaging in outdoor activities. As mentioned in the Amended - Proclamation of Local State of Emergency that I signed on Wednesday, March 18th, Mendham Township residents should be taking aggressive social distancing measures and limiting community movement. Where possible, residents should establish plans to telework from home, limit visitors, playdates, and hangouts and remain out of public spaces where close contact with others may occur. A great way to stay in contact with your loved ones is by utilizing technology - FaceTime, Google Hangouts, Skype, Zoom, phone call, text, email, etc. If you want us to check-in with an individual, please send an e-mail to outreach(a)mendhamtownship.org with the name, telephone number, e-mail and home address of the resident. If you sense that a resident needs immediate medical and/or emergency care, please contact 911. The Governor's order also directs the closure of all non-essential retail businesses to the public. More information on that can be found here: covid19.nj.gov<https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-information/general-public/governor-murphy-a…>. These are challenging times but we are an incredibly resilient community. A community made better because we are able to rely on each other. Each of us needs to take it upon ourselves to stay at home and employ social distancing properly. We also need to trust our neighbors to do the same. The only way to get through this is to do it together.

A Message from Mayor Sarah Neibart

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

As Mayor, last Friday, I declared a Local State of Emergency within Mendham Township. I closed all municipal buildings and fields to the public and called for all events over 50 people be postponed or canceled. Last night, I went a step further and amended Friday’s proclamation to postpone or cancel events or gatherings of more than 10 people in the Township. I also aggressively encouraged social distancing practices. I absolutely hate the idea of restricting or limiting people's movements, interactions, and economic activity but this situation is unprecedented. We are dealing with historic health and economic challenges, challenges that will have a profound impact on our world for decades to come. This situation requires decisive and bold temporary government measures. Measures I would have never supported under any other circumstance. This global pandemic has already brought incredible stress to our healthcare system and everyday lives. I believe, if we work together we can prevent it from getting worse. It is my job as mayor of Mendham Township to protect our residents, volunteers, and township employees. It’s important for people to understand that social distancing is not just standing six feet away from someone while being in large group gatherings. Social distancing is… * Taking personal protective measures (stay home when sick, proper hand washing, respiratory etiquette, cleaning frequently touched surfaces daily). * Limiting your movement in the community unless absolutely necessary (bank, playground, grocery store, post office) * Preventing or limiting visitors from coming into your home (extended family, friends, or contractors) * Not hosting or going to playdates or hanging out * Limiting being in public spaces where you could come into contact with another person Social distancing is way more than six feet out. It is less about the distance between me and you and more about the possibility of one of us exposing someone…a loved one or a stranger…who can’t fight this illness. I know social distancing is difficult and inconvenient but we are all in the same boat and we all need to follow the direction of our health professionals which is being communicated through the federal, state, and local governments for the good of our society. Most of the time, as an elected official, I try to fix problems and find solutions by working with staff, residents, and other elected officials. At this time, this problem affects us all and the outcome is dependent on all of us working together for the greater good. No one is above social distancing. Please do your part to protect your loved ones, neighbors, and the most vulnerable in our community. Help us deal with it now, so we aren’t dealing with it later. #FlattentheCurve

How You Can Help If you have an elderly neighbor, please consider checking in with them, by telephone or e-mail. (NOTE: In-person visits are not recommended.)

Finally, ask if they have a nearby relative, friend or a caregiver whom can provide ongoing care. Please send an e-mail to outreach(a)mendhamtownship.org<mailto:outreach@mendhamtownship.org> with the name, telephone number, e-mail and home address of residents whom should be added to the Township’s outreach list.
