SOUTH BRUNSWICK OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COVID BRIEFING
November 16, 2020
Office of Emergency Management Director and South Brunswick Police Chief Raymond Hayducka and Township Manager Bernard P. Hvozdovic Jr. announced today a marked increase in the number of residents testing positive for the Coronavirus (COVID-19) this past week. New Jersey State Health Department officials believe we will see an increase in cases and hospitalizations over the coming weeks. “The increased number of positive residents combined with a significant increase in people being hospitalized around the State, has us urging residents to wear face masks, use social distancing, and limit crowd sizes,” said Hayducka. Manager Hvozdovic added, “As the situation continues to develop we will be sending out more frequent emails on the virus trend locally, testing locations, and any changes in State regulations or guidelines.”November 16, 2020
