We want to thank all the residents of Belleville for doing their part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Every resident has done a tremendous job to curb the spread.

Unfortunately, the trend not only in Belleville and Essex County but throughout New Jersey is on the rise!

We must continue to be mindful to do everything we can to reduce this spread of COVID-19. That would include wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, practicing good hygiene, and limiting your exposure outside your normal acquaintances and family.

Governor Murphy has issued an Executive Order (EO 196) that limits inside gatherings to 10 people. 

The CDC has issued some advisories to keep you and your family safe during Thanksgiving such as:

• Wear a mask
• Social distance
• Limit travel
• Visit family virtually
• Limit the number of guests
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched areas

On behalf of Mayor Michael Melham, the entire Township Council, and our OEM Team 
we want to wish you a very healthy Thanksgiving.
