NJ COVID-19 Updates and More
Do you have questions about when and where you can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, mask requirements, or how to get a COVID-19 test? The State of New Jersey offers up-to-date information, resources, and guidance at our COVID-19 Information Hub.
Governor Murphy announced that all workers in preschool and schools up through Grade 12, as well as certain State employees, must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 18th, 2021 or be subject to COVID-19 testing at a minimum of one to two times per week. This requirement applies to all part-time and full-time individuals employed by any public, private, and parochial preschool programs and elementary and secondary schools, including charter and renaissance schools, as well as all state workers at state agencies, authorities, and state colleges and universities.
As of September 7th, 2021, all workers in certain health care and high-risk congregate settings, including correctional facilities, must be fully vaccinated or be subject to regular testing.
In addition, the federal government has announced plans to require vaccination for workers in most health care settings, federal executive branch employees, and all federal contractors. They have also announced plans to require vaccination or testing for all workers at businesses with 100 or more employees.

New Jersey’s Eviction Prevention Program will pay up to two years of rent arrears and future rent, as well as utility assistance, for low-, moderate-, and middle-income households that have experienced an economic impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Eviction Prevention Program uses the same application process as the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program, which began in March 2021 and is still accepting applications. Landlords may apply for assistance on behalf of a tenant. Visit https://njdca.onlinepha.com/ to get started.
In addition to the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program and Eviction Prevention Program, the State introduced critical eviction protections for renter households that have experienced economic hardships during the pandemic. To find out more about current eviction protections available and how to self-certify for these protections, visit https://covid19.nj.gov/renter.
