Hello:

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

Please be advised the East Hanover Health Department has informed us that since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, East Hanover has had 138 confirmed cases. Of the 138 cases, 118 cases are closed meaning that all appropriate protocols were taken; the isolation period is over and completed according to the NJ State Department of Health guidelines. There are 4 open cases and 1 of the 4 are hospitalized. The remaining 3 cases remains home quarantined. Sadly, we report that there have been 16 fatalities in East Hanover due to the coronavirus.

We ask that you pray for those who have the virus and to pray for those families that have lost their loved ones.

We ask that you patronize our local businesses by using technology to make your purchases on line as well as patronize our restaurants by using their takeout and delivery services. And starting yesterday retail stores are open and restaurants are open for outside dining. Please practice social distancing.  

I would also like to thank all of our first responders; they are all doing a great job.

Although our numbers have stabilized and the Governor has announced the allowance of more businesses to open, we should not let our guard down. As we socialize more, the potential risk of spreading the virus may increase. It is more important than ever to continue to practice safe social distancing and we strongly suggest the wearing of a mask.
