The Office of Emergency Management continues to monitor the COVID-19 crisis and the impact on our community.  While we anticipate adding orders and additional directives, we strongly suggest that whenever you are outside your home you do use a face cover.  Never enter any business without a face covering and always practice safe social-distancing at a minimum of 6 feet. 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to greatly affect our Township as the number of positive cases and fatalities is climbing at a significant rate.  Belleville currently has over 290 confirmed cases and our death toll is increasing daily. We implore everyone to follow Governor Murphy’s orders, to refrain from any social gatherings and to practice social distancing when in public.

In an effort to convey the most timely and reliable data on the outbreak, we encourage residents to visit these websites for the current statistics:
