Read Executive Order No. 109

Governor Murphy announced the launch of a new online portal to connect New Jersey residents with jobs in critical industries responding to COVID-19. Employers in critical industries should submit information about openings with urgent hiring needs related to COVID-19. The jobs portal already has more than 12,000 openings and more are being added every day. These openings are in industries that are critical to New Jersey’s COVID-19 response, such as grocery stores, shipping and logistics, healthcare, janitorial services, human services and warehousing. By connecting workers to these new openings, the tool will allow New Jersey residents to get back to work while increasing these key industries’ capacity to perform their essential duties.

The State of New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness created a web page to help the public distinguish between facts and rumors/disinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

LOCAL UPDATE
