Full Notification

I sincerely regret to inform you that West Milford has its first confirm case of COVID-19. We remain in constant contact with the health care professionals involved and will release other information as it is provided and permitted to be released in accordance with HIPPA. In accordance with standard protocols, we are also tracking back all places the infected resident visited in the past two weeks and with whom the resident came into contact. We will be in touch with anyone who may have come in contact with the individual and advise them they may have been exposed to COVID-19 and may need to self-quarantine.   This first confirmed case of COVID-19 in our town is a reminder that we must remain vigilant and act as if we are carriers of the virus. We need to maintain appropriate social distancing, frequently wash our hands and refrain from touching our face. I also encourage all residents to remain at home as much as possible. To assist with these efforts, I have directed all non-essential Township employees to work from home until further notice.   By working together, we can minimize the spread of this virus and help ensure we return to our normal routines as quickly as possible.
