NEW OMICRON VARIANT SURGES THROUGHOUT NJ: RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REMAIN VIGILANT

MESSAGE FROM MAYOR DALINA

Over the past several weeks, we have seen a steady and concerning rise in the new Omicron variant of COVID-19. Daily case reports in NJ have almost tripled since the beginning of the month.
