Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, who has been at the forefront of efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19, has taken personal measures to flatten the curve. County Executive Tedesco, who is not experiencing any symptoms, has decided to self-quarantine at the recommendation of the Bergen County Health Officer after attending a press conference with an individual identified as COVID-19 positive.
“It is important that all of us abide by the instructions of the CDC and health officials,” said County Executive Tedesco. “Even if we feel fine and don’t have any symptoms of the virus, we all must do our part.”
During this time, County Executive Tedesco will continue serving the residents of Bergen County and like many other New Jersey residents, will work remotely, and remains in constant communication with federal, state and local officials, County administration and staff. Limiting the physical presence of individuals in office environments and work sites is critical to preventing the future spread of COVID-19.
As of Monday evening at 6pm, Bergen County reports 600 presumptive positive COVID-19 cases impacting 65 municipalities in the county. Nine residents have passed away. On Saturday, the county had identified 363 cases impacting 63 municipalities. As of Tuesday at 2pm, the NJDOH cites 701 cases in the county.
