The flu season is upon us, and I want to remind all Plainfield residents to continue taking the utmost precautions to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus as well as the flu. Let’s wear our masks each time we leave our homes, continue to social distance, wash hands regularly, and avoid gatherings with large crowds. These precautionary measures have been proven to counteract the spread of both these potentially deadly viruses. The health and well-being of our community is priority number one.
At City Hall we’re open for business and maintaining essential services while taking steps to safeguard the health of our employees. We encourage you to try and complete your business online as much as possible. If you can’t find what you want online, please give us a call before coming to City Hall, chances are we can get the information to you and save you the trip.
While this crisis lasts, we will be sharing this resource edition of our newsletter every Wednesday. Please stay tuned and share this information with your loved ones and friends.

La temporada de gripe está sobre nosotros, y quiero recordarles a todos los residentes de Plainfield que continúen tomando las mayores precauciones para prevenir la propagación del virus COVID-19 y la gripe. Usemos nuestras máscaras cada vez que salgamos de nuestros hogares, continuemos con el distanciamiento social, lavemos las manos con regularidad y evitemos reuniones con grandes multitudes. Se ha demostrado que estas medidas de precaución contrarrestan la propagación de estos dos virus potencialmente mortales. La salud y el bienestar de nuestra comunidad es la prioridad número uno.
En el ayuntamiento estamos abiertos y mantenemos los servicios esenciales mientras tomamos medidas para salvaguardar la salud de nuestros empleados. Le recomendamos que intente completar su negocio en línea tanto como sea posible. Si no puede encontrar lo que busca en línea, por favor llámenos antes de venir al Ayuntamiento, lo más probable es que podamos entregarle la información y ahorrarle el viaje.
Mientras dure esta crisis, compartiremos esta edición de recursos de nuestro boletín todos los miércoles. Estén atentos y compartan esta información con sus seres queridos y amigos.
Manténgase a salvo y que Dios continúe bendiciéndole.
Sinceramente,
Adrian O. Mapp, Alcalde

|
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today signed Executive Order No. 215. The Order extends the Public Health Emergency that was declared on March 9, 2020 through Executive Order No. 103, which was previously extended in 2020 on April 7, May 6, June 4, July 2, August 1, August 27, September 25, October 24, November 21, and December 21. Under the Emergency Health Powers Act, a declared public health emergency expires after 30 days unless renewed.
“As we continue to work expeditiously to distribute vaccines, the COVID-19 pandemic is still in full swing,” said Governor Murphy. “Continued access to necessary resources is important and critical as cases have continued to climb in New Jersey and across our nation.”
Executive Order No. 215 extends all Executive Orders issued under the Governor’s authority under the Emergency Health Powers Act. It also extends all actions taken by any Executive Branch departments and agencies in response to the Public Health Emergency presented by the COVID-19 outbreak.
