WOODBRIDGE – Woodbridge officials reported 24 new positive COVID-19 cases, which brings the total number of cases to 904, said Mayor John McCormac in his daily report on April 19.
“To put the numbers in perspective, over the last nine days the township has 301 reported cases and for the nine days prior to that we had 503,” he said. “This clearly indicates that the numbers are getting better although any case of COVID-19 is one too many. There are still no trends to report.”
The mayor, in his report, said township parks remain open for walking, jogging or exercising, but all playground equipment is out of service. The state and county parks are closed, which include Merrill Park in Iselin, Fords Park in Fords, Williams Park in Sewaren and Warren Park in Woodbridge proper. A complete list of all township parks was added to the township web site and social media pages.
School grounds remain open, including the three high school tracks, but equipment is off limits. Sports and games are not permitted because of the ban on group gatherings.
The Township has a bank account called We Feed Woodbridge, which collects monetary donations spread among the 11 township food pantries as they need it. Checks can be made out to We Feed Woodbridge and sent to the township’s Health Department at 1 George Frederick Plaza, Woodbridge, NJ 07095 or to the Mayor’s office at 1 Main Street, Woodbridge, NJ 07095.
The mayor continues to urge neighbors to check on people who live alone and cannot leave their homes.
