This Week's NJ COVID-19 Updates
Do you have questions about getting tested for COVID-19, contact tracing, traveling to or from the State of New Jersey, or even finding a new job? The State of New Jersey offers up-to-date information, resources, and guidance at our COVID-19 Information Hub.
With the dangerous increase in COVID-19 cases, this holiday season will be like no other. Travel outside of your home should be limited. Indoor gatherings are limited to 10 people and should be limited to immediate household members if possible. Be smart and careful, so next year we can all celebrate the holidays together. Learn more about how to safely observe holiday traditions and spend time with loved ones attending college or living in long-term care centers.
