The Township of Nutley Board of Commissioners and the Nutley Health Department understand at this time that our residents are concerned about the Coronavirus. We want to assure our residents that we share your concerns. We are diligently working with State and Federal Health Officials to provide you with the most current and accurate information. We will continue to keep you updated as more information is provided. For updated information please continue to monitor our website, www.nutleynj.org and the state and federal resource links provided.
Although there are currently no COVID-19 cases in Nutley, being prepared is always the right decision in such cases.
The following is a list of some things that could be done to prepare:
- Stocking up on a two-week supply of food and water
- Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home
- Have non-prescription drugs and other health supplies on hand including pain relievers/fever reducing medications, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins, tissues.
- Stock up on household supplies such as toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, garbage bags, cleaning supplies, etc.
- Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals pharmacies and other sources and store them for personal reference.
- Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what would be needed for them in your home.
- Have pet foods and supplies.
- Stock up on baby care items
- Plan for potential extended school and day care closures
- Talk to your employer about telecommuting opportunities in the event that movement of people is restricted
- Plan for a “sick room” in the home. Designate one room that would work best, usually a bedroom with its own bathroom (when possible) that no one else will use. If someone in the home becomes ill, keep them in the “sick room away” from others
