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 152 confirmed cases. Of the 152 cases, 131 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 5 open cases 1 is hospitalized and 4 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 thank you for continuing to patronize our local businesses.

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

Please be aware 3 of the 4 new cases are among young adults under the age of 25. Young adults must be extra careful to know the more you socialize the more you put yourselves at risk. I cannot emphasize as we all 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. At least by wearing a mask you are not only helpful to yourself, but you are being respectful to others.
