Message from Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis:

‘As we have been discussing lately, the number of positive cases of Coronavirus continue to rise.  Unfortunately, the vulnerable among us are hardest hit.  Today, another Bayonne resident passed away from this illness.  An 80 year-old woman lost her fight.  We express our deepest sorrow to her family.  It breaks our heart to see this loss in our community.

As more people get tested, the experts say we will continue to see positive COVID-19 cases rise, and we must continue to help slow its spread.  Conversely, we are seeing most residents recovering well at home and we are also seeing fully recovered neighbors come off the list.  This is good news!

If we follow the directives to stay at home unless absolutely necessary, we are helping to stop the spread.  We need to reduce our time out of the house, because each time we go out, separations are harder to maintain.  PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE, GOOD HYGIENE, and SAFE PRACTICES.

If you follow these directives, your chances of contracting the virus is reduced considerably.  If you do become ill, follow your doctor’s instructions in regards to self-isolation and treatment.

OEM will continue to provide updates to you each day.  Pray for the families of those lost and suffering from this illness.  I am praying for all of us, and I’m absolutely certain that we will get through this together! #BayonneStrong #WeAreBayonne’
