CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE

As of today, Thursday, March 19, 2020, 5 P.M., there have been NO confirmed cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in East Windsor. Township Officials continue to work closely with state and federal health officials in monitoring the spread of this virus and responding as circumstances should warrant. While this virus poses the greatest risk to older people and those with underlying health conditions, everyone in our community shares responsibility to take precautions and help minimize the risks of the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). During these difficult times, we appreciate everyone's support and assistance in practicing social distancing, checking in on at risk neighbors and seniors, and supporting our local businesses as we can.

Today, Thursday, March 19, Mayor Janice S. Mironov issued a DECLARATION OF STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP to insure that Township Officials will be able to maximize efforts to ensure continuation of all essential governmental operations and to best and fully protect the persons and property of our residents, and be authorized to promulgate such needed orders, rules and regulations as are necessary to address any contingencies which may arise and to meet these goals.
