Schwartz regarding COVID-19<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id69ea3101ddec5\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Read More...\"    >Read More...<\/span><span id='swap-id69ea3101ddec5'  class='colomat-swap' style='display:none;'> <\/span>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">As many of you have seen and heard, our Mayor has requested all residents to self-quarantine.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Ahead of a formal announcement tomorrow, and as social media, phone, text and WhatsApps are \u201cringing\u201d off the hook, I wanted to put my thoughts together to define the word \u201cSelf- quarantine\u201d. Please keep in mind at this time this is NOT a mandate but a voluntary step.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">As the number of COVID-19 patients being treated at Holy Name Medical Center has risen, we are asking that the members <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">of our Teaneck community begin to self-quarantine to slow the spread of COVID-19.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Slowing the spread of the coronavirus is our community&#8217;s only hope to avoid overwhelming our medical system. While hand-washing and sanitizing is helpful, this disease is communicated person-to-person, and the less social interactions we have, the slower it will be able to spread.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Our highest chances of slowing the spread of this virus is when the infection rate in our general population is still low. If we wait for our infection rates in Teaneck to rise before taking these preventative measures, they will not be effective.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">We need to take proactive steps at social distancing because that is known to flatten the curve.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">We can\u2019t possibly know every place everyone has been with any degree of certainly.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Let\u2019s put our collective energies into doing what we can to help the greatest number of people.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">To that end, some practices of self-quarantine include:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"_5a_q _5yj1\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">When you do have to go out in the community for groceries or medicine, only one member of the household should go, and he\/she should practice Social Distancing, and maintain a 6-foot distance from all other individuals.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Reduce and eliminate unnecessary trips.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Make required travel done by a single person.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">We will be asking our food establishments to be takeout and delivery only<\/li>\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Movie theaters and gyms will be closed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Many house of worship, under request from their religious leaders, have closed<\/li>\n<li class=\"_2cuy _509q _2vxa\">Many employees are working from home. Please ask your employer if you can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Today the New York Times quoted Dr. Carter Mecher, a senior medical adviser for public health at the Department of Veterans Affairs and a former director of medical preparedness policy at the White House during the Obama and Bush administrations. We think his metaphor is helpful in understanding our situation. &#8220;A fire on your stove you could put out with a fire extinguisher, but if your kitchen is ablaze, that fire extinguisher probably won\u2019t work. Communities that pull the fire extinguisher early are much more effective.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">As a reminder, the CDC\u2019s tips for preventing the spread of infections include:<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Regularly and thoroughly wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with warm water and soap or clean them with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Stay home if you feel sick.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash; if tissue is not available then cough\/sneeze into your bent elbow.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Please monitor your own health and be aware of the symptoms of COVID-19. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Fever<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Cough<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Shortness of breath<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">If you think you may have COVID-19, <span class=\"_4yxo\">first contact your doctor before going to the hospital.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">According to the CDC, if you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 you should get medical attention immediately. Emergency warning signs include, but are not limited to:<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Persistent pain or pressure in the chest<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 New confusion or inability to arouse<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\u00b7 Bluish lips or face<\/div>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">Please stay tuned for more formal information from the township tomorrow.<\/div>\n<div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teanecktoday.com\/blog\/board-of-education\/teaneck-schools-closed-indefinitely-beginning-march-16-2020-important-covid-19-update-from-superintendent\/\">Teaneck Schools Closed Indefinitely beginning March 16, 2020 &#8211; Important COVID-19 Update from Superintendent<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id69ea3101ddf91\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Read More...\"    >Read More...<\/span><span id='swap-id69ea3101ddf91'  class='colomat-swap' style='display:none;'> <\/span><div id=\"target-id69ea3101ddf91\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">\n<p>Dear Parents &amp; Guardians,<\/p>\n<p>Out of great concern for the health and welfare of Bergen County residents and all school staff during this Coronavirus\/COVID-19 health crisis, the Bergen County Executive has called for ALL school buildings in this county to be closed, indefinitely, beginning on Monday, March 16, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of Teaneck Public Schools, I am appreciative of this decision.\u00a0 Although we currently have no presumptive positive cases in the District, we will close all of our school buildings next week.

Kazinci, Township Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 COVID-19 UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Township of Teaneck continues to monitor the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout our region. As Manager, I have an imperative to do everything possible to slow the spread of this serious virus and protect those who are most vulnerable. This is a difficult and extraordinary situation, and I recognize that people throughout our community, including our workforce, are concerned for their personal health and that of their families and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Teaneck currently has eight (8) presumptive positive cases of the COVID-19 virus.<\/p>\n<p>As you are aware, Governor Murphy declared a State of Emergency, and Public Health Emergency to strengthen state preparedness to contain the spread of COVID-19. County Executive James Tedesco also declared a State of Emergency earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>The Township\u2019s Health Department is working closely with the NJ Department of Health to monitor the situation closely. Staff continue to proactively respond to any cases that may be identified in our area. The Health Department has fielded hundreds of calls and emails from our residents for guidance and direction.<\/p>\n<p>My office continues to have daily meetings with command staff to provide them with the latest information on the COVID-19 virus to include how it is spread; symptoms; risks; workplace safety; prevention; and, treatment. I remain in contact with the Township\u2019s OEM coordinator, Holy Name Medical Center, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and the Teaneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps. for preparedness purposes. I am confident Teaneck is prepared for this crisis and we will do everything possible to keep our residents and workforce safe.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Governor Murphy released a statement based on guidance from the Commissioner of Health. Governor Murphy is recommending the cancellation of all public gatherings throughout New Jersey of more than 250 individuals. These measures are being taken as part of a coordinated response to the continued outbreak, and to aggressively mitigate the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the size of the event, I can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to practice commonsense hygiene like washing your hands aggressively, staying home if you are sick, and keeping a social distance space of six feet.<\/p>\n<p>Again social distancing works and it\u2019s the best way to flatten the curve and prevent the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus.<\/p>\n<p>I made several important decisions over the past two days that will further help protect our workforce and community in mitigating the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>My office released a COVID-19 Pandemic Plan for Township operations to our workforce today. The plan was developed to assist the Township in responding to and conducting operations during a potential Coronavirus pandemic outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to protect those members of our community at the highest risk for complications of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), as well as the health of our workforce, the Township has cancelled all Senior activities, as well as all recreational programs, including open gym, at the Rodda Center.\u00a0 The junior sports athletic programs have cancelled their upcoming practices and games until April 1st.<\/p>\n<p>Vantage Health, the Township\u2019s social services provider, will continue to operate without disruption.<\/p>\n<p>All scheduled Court sessions in the Teaneck Municipal Court have been cancelled until further notice.<\/p>\n<p>The Teaneck Library will be closed to the public starting Friday, March 13th. This decision was reached to protect the staff from potential exposures to COVID-19 out of an abundance of caution. The Library\u2019s website will reflect when the Library will reopen.<\/p>\n<p>I have cancelled all non-essential meetings. The website calendar will reflect the cancellations of the various Boards and Commissions.<\/p>\n<p>Effective the week of March 16th, and until further notice, the municipal building will be closed on Friday\u2019s. All staff will work a Monday through Thursday schedule. Hours of operation will be from 8:00 AM to 5:15 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Hours of operation on Tuesday will remain 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The Rodda Center will follow the same schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Again, these actions will help to mitigate the spread of the virus and allow the Township\u2019s maintenance staff to completely clean and sanitize the buildings when closed. This schedule will remain in place until further notice.<\/p>\n<p>All emergency services remain on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There will be no interruption of schedule for the Department of Public Works.<\/p>\n<p>Teaneck is a resilient community and I\u2019m confident, with the leadership in place of your Council, Manager\u2019s Office, Department Heads, and Emergency Personnel that we will get through this crisis together.<\/p>\n<p>While there is still much to learn about COVID-19, residents should remain calm and vigilant in their personal efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and monitor the Township\u2019s website at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.teanecknj.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.teanecknj.gov&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1584202235301000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEuzIF0hvYycDd7PWu1q_BKT3tYrA\">www.teanecknj.gov<\/a>\u00a0for updated information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As a reminder, the New Jersey Department of Health has established a 24-hour telephone hotline for residents who may have concerns or questions: 800-222-1222.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<!-- Generated using Document Gallery.

And the NHL, MLB and NBA seasons have come to a halt.<\/p>\n<p>As the Bergen County Executive, I feel that closing all of our public schools in Bergen County is just as paramount a decision, and I do not take it, or make it lightly.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been fielding phone calls this week from Mayors, Health and School Officials, and other leaders and parents about the status of our schools.<\/p>\n<p>With the continuing spread of COVID-19 throughout Bergen County, it is imperative that we take action and do everything in our power to protect our 1 million residents.\u00a0\u00a0This includes our 75 school districts which have almost 170,000 children; 16,000 teachers; and hundreds and hundreds of administrative, custodial and support staff.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, I declared a State of Emergency in the County of Bergen.\u00a0 As a result, we closed all 10 County-Operated Senior Activity Centers until further notice to protect our seniors who continue to be the most vulnerable population when it comes to the spread of this deadly virus.<\/p>\n<p>We suspended visitation to our Bergen County Health Care Center at Rockleigh, and our partner agency at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center implemented the same policy for their long-term care facility.\u00a0We also announced that we were closing the Bergen County Technical Schools and the Bergen County Special Services Schools which affects approximately 3,600 students and 1,600 teachers and administrators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today, we are making another announcement concerning our schools.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After consulting with Executive Leadership of the Bergen County Association of School Administrators and our County Health Officer, I have decided to have all 75 public school districts in Bergen County transition from on-site learning to off-site internet-based and paper-based distance learning until further notice.<\/p>\n<p>While the CDC states that COVID-19 does not pose as great a risk to our children as it does to our older adult population, it is vital that we protect our children from the dangers of this virus or the community spread of this virus.<\/p>\n<p>We are confident in the ability of Bergen County\u2019s teachers, staff and administrators to successfully educate our children off-site, and are encouraging them to begin preparing lesson-plans as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this virus is not going anywhere for the time-being. As your County Executive, I will continue to take every step necessary to protect you and your families.\u00a0\u00a0In an ongoing effort to be safe, we must continue to take proactive steps to get ahead of this virus, contain the spread of this virus, and protect ourselves from this virus.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard many health officials say this over the past week but it bears repeating: There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, but the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC and the NJ Department of Health recommend that you take the simple steps that they have recommended to prevent the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>We are also encouraging businesses to let their employees stay at home using tele-communication technology to be with their children to address their childcare needs, and if that is not possible, we hope and expect private businesses would make allowances to their employees to be paid for a reasonable time to take care of their families \u2014 similar to the Civil Service guidelines public employees have.<\/p>\n<p>The people of Bergen County are a very strong group of people and we will get through this. We made it through Superstorm Floyd and Superstorm Sandy when schools were closed for days and we will make it through COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>We are Bergen County Strong, but we must take steps to protect ourselves, and that is what we will continue to do with this most recent announcement concerning our schoolchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teanecktoday.com\/blog\/board-of-education\/teaneck-public-school-closing-info\/\">Teaneck Public School Closing Info<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id69ea3101dfb94\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Read More...\"    >Read More...<\/span><span id='swap-id69ea3101dfb94'  class='colomat-swap' style='display:none;'> <\/span><div id=\"target-id69ea3101dfb94\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">\n<p>Dear Teaneck Community,<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of Dr. Irving our Superintendent, and in partnership with the Teaneck Community Charter School, we will be using one of our remaining snow days to\u00a0<strong>close tomorrow, Friday, March 13th for all students and school staff<\/strong>.\u00a0 All after-school and evening programs are also cancelled.\u00a0 However, please note that our Leadership team and Central Office staff will still report to work.<\/p>\n<p>We have heard from many parents, students and staff, and want to assure you that we take this health crisis very seriously.\u00a0 Closing schools for an extended period of time will be a hardship for all; but the health and safety of our educational community must be our top priority.<\/p>\n<p>This day will provide us with the necessary time to make any final preparations in case we need to close for several weeks.

This is the prudent and responsible action to take which protects our workforce and community from the spread of COVID-19 until it is under control. I want to exercise an abundance of caution for our most vulnerable members of the Teaneck community.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Teaneck Public Library will be rescheduling or cancelling all large scale events until the end of March.

My office continues to hold regular meetings with department heads and our Office of Emergency Management to provide them with up to date information on the virus. The Township remains in daily contact with the school superintendent, as well as officials from Fairleigh Dickinson University and Holy Name Hospital. We are encouraging residents, whenever possible, to conduct all business with the Township online.<\/p>\n<p>My office will be releasing a COVID-19 Pandemic Plan for Township operations today. The plan was developed to assist the Township in responding to and conducting operations during potential Coronavirus pandemic outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>While there is still much to learn about COVID-19, residents should remain calm and vigilant in their personal efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and monitor the Township\u2019s website at<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><u><a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.teanecknj.gov\/\">www.teanecknj.gov<\/a><\/u><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>for updated information.<\/p>\n<p><b>As a reminder, the New Jersey Department of Health has established a 24-hour telephone hotline for residents who may have concerns or questions:<\/b><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"tel:800-222-1222\">800-222-1222<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n\n<!-- Generated using Document Gallery.
