Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Police post Coronavirus Rumor Control:
Myth: There Is A National Lockdown And The Entire Country Will Be Quarantined For Two Weeks.
Fact: There is no national lockdown. As with all information online or shared via social media, it is important to verify the source of the information. You can find the latest information as well as links to additional resources at www.coronavirus.gov.
Myth: FEMA Has Deployed Military Assets
Fact: No, FEMA does not have military assets. Like all emergencies, response is most successful when it is locally executed, state managed and federally supported. Each state’s governor is responsible for response activities in their state, to include establishing curfews, deploying the National Guard if needed and any other restrictions or safety measures they deem necessary for the health and welfare of their citizens.

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood restaurant owner Lisa Mayisouglu of Lisa’s Mediterranean Cuisine wanted to help those volunteers on the front line, who are responding to the emergency medical calls during the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Thinking of how she could help, Lisa reached out to Ridgewood Emergency Services Volunteers and offered to prepare dinner for the volunteer EMS crews. “I have the food; our restaurant can only provide take out service now. So I decided to give back and provide a healthy meal for the Volunteers who are away from their families and risking exposure to the virus despite all the precautions that they take”. 

Lisa, who has owned her restaurant for 15 years in the Village is taking her efforts even further by organizing other restaurants in the Village to follow suit. Ridgewood Emergency Services Public Information Officer Bob Krane stated “that the Volunteers really appreciate Lisa’s concern and thoughtfulness. A big thank you to Lisa. These are difficult times for all. Just as Lisa is supporting the Volunteers, all residents need to support the local restaurants by ordering take out service.”
