Hello,

This is East Hanover Mayor Joe Pannullo with a special announcement. This is our Friday update.

Please be advised the East Hanover Health Department has informed us that since the beginning of the corona virus outbreak, East Hanover has had 82 confirmed cases. Of the 82 cases, 43 cases are closed meaning that all appropriate protocols were taken; the isolation period is over and completed according the NJ State Department of Health guidelines. There are still 33 open cases and 3 of the 33 are hospitalized. The remaining 30 cases remain home quarantined. Sadly we report that there have been 6 fatalities in East Hanover due to the coma virus.

We ask that you pray for those who have the virus and to pray for those families that have lost their loved ones. It is very important more than ever to practice safe social distancing.

If a person is to start showing symptoms of COVID-19, which include fever, cough and shortness of breath, residents must contact their healthcare provider prior to visiting the hospital or a healthcare setting.

Individuals with mild symptoms should stay home if they are sick and follow the guidance of their health care provider.
