As of yesterday, the New Jersey Department of Health reports that our region (Northeast) remains at the High / Orange risk level (with Case Rate RED, Percent CLI ORANGE, and Positivity Rate YELLOW). You may access the NJ COVID Activity Level report here; this report is updated each Thursday by the NJ Department of Health, reflecting the prior week’s data.

This information comes about 10 days after the temporary closing of a number of schools in Hoboken which began on March 16th by the Hoboken Office of Emergency Management: 

"Due to the State of Emergency declared by the Hoboken Office of Emergency Management (OEM), the Hoboken Public School District and the Hoboken Charter Schools (Elysian, HoLa, and Hoboken Charter) will close starting Monday, March 16 for a period of two weeks. The decision to close was made by the Hoboken OEM, as authorized in a State of Emergency, in coordination with the leadership of the four school districts. Although there have been no confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Hoboken or among the student population, the decision to close the schools was done out of an abundance of caution. Each school has made preparations for remote learning programs, and will communicate those plans directly to parents."
