Governor Murphy Unveils Multi-Stage Approach to Execute a Responsible and Strategic Restart of New Jersey’s Economy...

TRENTON – As part of his vision, “The Road Back: Restoring Economic Health Through Public Health,” Governor Phil Murphy today unveiled a multi-stage approach to execute a responsible and strategic economic restart to put New Jersey on the road back to recovery from COVID-19. The multi-stage blueprint, guided by the Governor’s Restart and Recovery Commission and complementary Advisory Councils, plans for a methodical and strategic reopening of businesses and activities based on level of disease transmission risk and essential classification.

“Through our combined efforts, we have flattened the curve of COVID-19 cases, and we are well-positioned to continue our restart and recovery process,” said Governor Murphy. “Our multi-stage approach uses science, data, and facts to determine which businesses and activities can reopen according to their risk level and challenges they face to safeguard public health. Additionally, we will be guided by our ability to protect against a new COVID-19 outbreak with expanded testing and contact tracing, and clear social distancing safeguards in place. We are currently in Stage 1, and we will aim to move through each stage quickly, but also judiciously, with the public health of our communities and all New Jerseyans in mind. We are also counting on all New Jerseyans to continue keeping themselves and their neighbors safe by wearing face coverings, washing hands frequently, and limiting gatherings.”

Governor Murphy’s approach includes the following stages:

MAXIMUM RESTRICTIONS
Maximum restrictions with most individuals staying at home and activity limited to essential tasks.

Permitted activities and businesses include:

Emergency health care
Essential construction
Manufacturing
Essential retail, including grocery stores and pharmacies

STAGE 1
Restrictions relaxed on low-risk activities if appropriately safeguarded. New Jersey is currently in this stage.

Phased-in businesses may include:

Non-essential, but easiest to safeguard, work activities at physical locations if they meet safeguarding and modification guidelines. For example, non-essential construction with protections.
Some non-essential retail may open with significant modifications. For example, curbside pickup.
All workers who can work from home continue to work from home even if their industry is reopening. For example, an office manager for a construction company.

Phased-in activities include State and county parks, non-essential construction, curbside retail, drive-in activities, beaches, and elective surgeries.

STAGE 2
Restrictions are relaxed on additional activities that can be easily safeguarded.

Phased-in businesses may include:

More work activities are allowed at physical locations only if they adhere to safeguarding and modification guidelines. For example, work activities to be phased-in over the course of Stage 2 may include expanded retail, safeguarded restaurants with outdoor seating, limited personal care, and possibly indoor dining, museums, and libraries, all with significantly reduced capacity.
All workers who can work from home continue to work from home. For example, a buying manager for restaurants.
Some personal care services may be provided on a limited basis.

STAGE 3
Restrictions are relaxed on most activities with significant safeguarding.

Phased-in businesses include:

More work activities, including in-person meetings, are allowed at physical locations only if they can adhere to safeguarding guidelines and modifications. For example, work activities to be phased-in over the course of Stage 3 may include expanded dining, critical in-office work, limited entertainment, expanded personal care, and bars with limited capacity.
All workers who can work from home continue to work from home. For example, accounting office workers.
Personal care services may be provided on a more extended basis.

Precautions that apply across all stages include:

Work that can be done from home should continue to be done from home.
Clinically high-risk individuals who can stay at home should continue to do so.
All residents and businesses should follow state and federal safeguarding guidelines:
- Wash hands
- Wear masks in public
- Respect social distancing
- Minimize gatherings
- Disinfect workplace and businesses
- Minimize gatherings
- No mass gatherings

New Jersey will move toward subsequent stages based on data that demonstrates improvements in public health and the capacity to safeguard the public, including:

Sustained improvements in public health indicators, including new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, individuals in intensive care, and ventilator use.
Substantial increase in testing and contact tracing capacity.
Sufficient resilience in New Jersey’s health care system to include adequate bed capacity, ventilators, personal protective equipment, and workforce.
Widespread safeguarding of workplaces.
Widespread safeguarding and capacity of child care, schools, and transit.
Continued public compliance.

If public health indicators, safeguarding, or compliance worsen on a sustained basis, New Jersey will be prepared to move back to more restrictive stages as well.

NJMVC Further Extends Driver License, Registration, and Inspection Expiration Dates Due to COVID-19

TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Chief Administrator Sue Fulton today announced additional extensions to driver license, registration, and inspection expiration dates in their continuing efforts to mitigate COVID-19 and safeguard public health.

Effective immediately, the following documents, if expiring between March 13 and May 31, have been extended to July 31. Documents expiring June 30 are extended two months to August 31, and those expiring July 31 are extended to September 30.

All Standard driver licenses (including permits) and standard non-driver IDs
Privately owned and commercial vehicle registrations
Vehicle inspections
Purple Heart/Disabled Veteran placards
Temporary tags

“Extending the expiration dates further is the right move with our agencies closed to the public, as we work to stamp out the threat of COVID-19 together,” Fulton said. “We continue to urge eligible customers to renew their licenses and registrations online at NJMVC.gov.”

“Get it done online now, if you’re able,” Fulton suggests. “We do anticipate that volumes will spike once we reopen and when we reach the end of these extensions. Our job is to serve customers in the most efficient way possible and one way we can do that is by steering people to our expanded list of online services.”

By law, Chief Administrator Fulton has the authority to extend expiration dates when a State of Emergency has been declared. Governor Murphy extended the State of Emergency and Public Health Emergency on May 6 as part of the state’s coordinated COVID-19 response.

On March 13, the NJMVC initially announced two-month extensions for licenses, registrations, and inspection stickers expiring in March, April, and May, timelines that have now been pushed back.

The NJMVC encourages customers to utilize online services, which have been expanded during the COVID-19 crisis. In most cases, customers can renew a license, replace a lost license, change an address, renew a registration, and complete other transactions through the NJMVC’s Online Services portal.

Customers also should check NJMVC.gov for the latest information and updates.

Businesses can now access the full Notice of Funding Availability. The grant program is part of a package of initiatives announced last week to support businesses and workers facing economic hardship due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

New Jersey Department of Labor – Apply for Unemployment or Understand the Payroll Tax Credit for Businesses Keeping Employees Working Here

Over the last week, more than 206,000 new claims of unemployment were filed. In just the past two weeks, more than 362,000 residents have filed for unemployment, according to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL). The NJDOL is urging employers to keep employees on the payroll throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and to take advantage of a 100 percent, dollar for dollar, payroll tax credit provided under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). The federal law, which goes into effect on April 1, provides unprecedented support to employers to provide federal Emergency Paid Sick Leave and Emergency Paid Family and Medical Leave to workers affected by COVID-19. The payroll tax credit immediately and fully reimburses employers with fewer than 500 employees (99.8 percent of all NJ employers) by allowing them to reduce their federal payroll taxes by the amount they spent on emergency leave. This tax credit enables businesses to keep workers on their payrolls and ensures that parents and caregivers do not have to make the impossible choice of earning a paycheck or staying at home to care for themselves or a family member.

State of New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli’s letter to religous leaders reminding us of Governor Murphy’s Executive Order, which bans social gatherings of all sizes including during the upcoming religious holiday.

This is a message on behalf of Mayor McPartland and the Borough Council to provide a Coronavirus update for Friday March 27.

We have been purposely limiting the telephone messaging to prevent information overload with 24 hour television and radio news updates. However, we have been providing regular updates and information on our borough web site and our Facebook and Twitter Accounts. We also ask that you please register for our reverse messaging system swift 911 on our web site at http://www.edgewaternj.org/254/Emergency-Notification-PSAs . Provide your land line and or cellular telephone as well as email to receive emergency notifications, you must register for this service.

We ask that all residents adhere to the advice of our national medical professionals by practicing social distancing as well as self-quarantining if you are sick or not so we all do our part in limiting the spread of this virus and hopefully soon see a reduction in cases. Only travel outside your home for necessary supplies as well as exercise. Grocery stores like ACME and Shop Rite are well stocked and we continue to ask that you do not hoard supplies that someone else may need. Many restaurants are open for take-out and delivery and we ask that you please patronize these local restaurants and show your support for our small business in Edgewater. If you log onto to our web site and social media sites, we have posted as much financial assistance information for residents and business owners as possible, and will regularly update this. Another important request is that you please properly dispose of your gloves and masks in trash receptacles and do not throw them on the ground, this is becoming a big problem and littering is not a solution.

A great new program has been started thanks to the County of Bergen, it is called “Umbrella”. For seniors 60 and over concerned about leaving their homes during the COVID-19 outbreak to shop for groceries and or pick up medication can call 973-200-4499 or 844-402-2480, again the number is 973-200-4499 or 844-402-2480 Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm. There is a $6.00 per order service charge which will include your shopping and delivery by COVID-19 trained personnel. Also, Bergen County Community Transportation is providing free limited medical transportation, you may call 201-368-5955, and again that is 201-368-5955.

Another matter we would like to remind you about is the 2020 Census. This may seem trivial at this point however, let us briefly explain why it is so important you fill out your census return. The funding that is being provided from the federal government for the Coronavirus is based on the 2010 census data, the more people we count, the more money that can be distributed to residents who need it. So please, fill out your census return by paper or logging on to 2020census.gov, it takes less than 10 minutes.

Thank you for your time and stay healthy and safe and if you need any type of help or assistance, borough staff are working Monday through Friday, feel free to email or call us.

For seniors 60 and over concerned about leaving their homes during the COVID-19 outbreak to shop for groceries and/or pick up medication, Brianna Greenberg, Care Coordinator, Bergen County Department of Human Services/Division of Senior Services, reports that Umbrella is available to make sure that everyone is able to get the supplies they need during this difficult time. More Info...

Bergen County will begin accepting donations of Personal Protective Equipment. More Info...

Dear Residents;

I am aware of the school board budget situation. As you may know the Board of Education is an independent elected governing body, they levy their own tax, they have their own elected members, and they appoint their own professionals. The Board of Education hire their own staff and manage their own budget, we are independent autonomous bodies by law and there are limitations on how the Borough, may help. I will be meeting with them again this week to see how my administration can assist them. I believe in and support strong schools for our town, and I am extremely disappointed in the situation that the Board of Education finds itself in.

Mayor McPartland
