COVID-19 Update
March 13, 2020 - 7:15pm

The Township of Nutley Board of Commissioners and Office of Emergency Management understands and shares our residents’ concerns regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are working diligently with local, state and federal health officials to proactively make necessary preparations and continuously provide you with the most current and accurate information.

Although there are currently no known COVID-19 cases in Nutley, we are preparing for the likelihood that there may be in the future and are doing everything in our power to reduce and slow transmission.

At this time, all municipal government will remain open, however we will limit all unnecessary access to municipal buildings effective immediately through Friday, March 27, 2020. We encourage residents to contact departments by phone instead of in person. In addition, all major gatherings are cancelled until March 27, 2020.

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Individuals can take the following steps to protect themselves:

• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If not available, use hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home while you are sick and avoid contact with others.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily.
