Full Notification

Our current situation continues to evolve on an hourly basis. Please take comfort in the knowledge that Township officials have acted swiftly, in a coordinated effort across all disciplines, to ensure the safety of all residents and visitors to the Township. The Governor of the State of NJ, in conjunction with the Governors of New York and Connecticut, have issued the following;

Please see the below information which was provided by the New Jersey Governor’s Office:

• New Jersey will be joining New York and Connecticut in closing down movies and gyms effective this evening.

• Gatherings larger than 50 people will be prohibited.

• Gyms will be closing at 8 PM and remain closed moving forward.

• Bars and Restaurants will be closing at 8 PM moving forward, with the ability to re-open each day to offer take-out and delivery services.

• Food establishments will be prohibited from offering eat-in services.

• The Governor will be recommending that people should not travel between 8:00 PM and 5:00 AM. The goal will be to discourage people from traveling at those times.

• Establishments such as supermarkets/pharmacies will not be affected by the mandatory 8 PM closures. They will remain open to provide services for all residents.

As the State continue to provide guidance we will provide the same to all of you. In the meantime, we feel it is prudent for all residents to abide by the State's recommendations regarding travel after 8:00pm and to continue to practice social distancing as much as possible.

We will continue to provide updates as the situation unfolds through the Nixle community notification system, the Township Website – News and Noteworthy at www.byramtwp.org and/or the Byram Township Government Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/byramtownship/

Thank you again for your understanding and cooperation.
