Mayor’s Message of December 23, 2020

This is West Caldwell Mayor Joe Tempesta with a public service announcement.

On behalf of the entire Township Council and all our West Caldwell employee family, we wish all of you a Merry Christmas.

Please be advised the West Caldwell Health Department has informed us as of today Wednesday December 23, 2020 we currently have twenty (20) new confirmed cases of Covid-19 in West Caldwell’s general population since last week.

Of the 20 new confirmed cases, 4 individuals are home quarantined and recovering and the other 16 individuals are already recovered. Since the beginning of the Pandemic, we have had a total of 334 cases, of which, we have had 8 citizens pass away in our general population. Thankfully, we have had 322 cases closed whereby those citizens are recovered and are no longer quarantined. We currently have 2 current COVID-19 cases in the Hackensack Meridian Health WC Care Center. There are no current cases in Crane’s Mill.

We encourage all of you to continue the practice of social distancing, wash your hands often, and wear masks whenever possible. House parties tend to be an incubator for the Covid-19 virus, and we are simply trying to remind all of you to be careful and try and limit house gatherings to under 10 people.

I also ask that you continue to join me in thanking all our first responders and teachers. I also thank you for continuing to patronize our restaurants and retail stores.

For additional information regarding the corona virus call the NJ COVID-19 Information Public Call Center at 1-800-962-1253 or Call NJ 211 or text NJCOVID to 898-211 to receive text information and to stay informed.

Thank you.
