WEEKLY STATUS REPORT - COVID

South Brunswick Office of Emergency Management is providing a weekly update of positive COVID cases in our Township. Last week, we saw the fewest number of new cases in two months with 14 new cases.
 
We currently have 414 cases of residents who have tested positive. This number reflects both residents and people living in long term care facilities in the Township. The number may be different from that reflected in other databases, as we work to confirm names and addresses assigned to South Brunswick by the State Health Department.
 
A total of 28 lives have been lost in the Township to the virus. 15 of those who have died have been connected to long term care facilities in the Township.
 
State health officials reported 2,723 patients in hospitals as of Monday night, down 66% from the peak in hospitalizations on April 14, when 8,084 patients were being treated. The state had 786 patients in critical or intensive care, with 578 on ventilators.
 
The social distancing and wearing face-covering have made an impact on the declining number of positive cases.

  NJ Census 2020 Team – Census Day of Action
 
This coming Wednesday, May 27th is a statewide Census Day of Action and we are again asking everyone to Call Those Who Count On You to see how they’re doing and to ask them to fill out their all-important Census
 
Accurate Census data will be very instrumental in helping to build a better future and stronger communities for us all. And the federal funds we get that are informed by Census data will go a long way to helping with our COVID-19 recovery.
 
We are asking as many folks as possible to participate in our Friends and Family Outreach call program. It’s simple to do and you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Everything you need is provided right here to start making calls, including a call script in Spanish: https://nj.gov/state/census-outreach.shtml
 
Here’s how the call program works – You call at least five (5) friends, neighbors or family members to check and see how they are doing. Then also ask if they’ve had a chance to fill out their Census. If they haven’t, we’ve provided info so that you can tell them why it’s so important. Then ask those who said yes to call 5 of their friends and family members - And so on, and so on.
 
As a friend, neighbor, or relative you’re a trusted voice. And there is no one more effective than you to ask those you know to fill out their Census.
 
Key message for the Day of Action: Help build a better future and stronger communities in New Jersey. A complete count helps us get our fair share of the federal funds. It’s safe, easy, and important And it’s not too late to respond at 2020CENSUS.GOV.
