Monmouth County residents who fear having a swap stuck deep inside their nasal cavity as much as they fear the diagnosis of COVID-19 now have an alternative.
The Visting Nursing Service of Central Jersey Community Health Center is administering the recently approved saliva test, which was developed at Rutgers, at their Asbury Park location this week. The test will be available at their Freehold, Keyport and Red Bank locations next week.
Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden, in a facebook post on Tuesday evening, emphatically called upon Governor Phil Murphy to allow County officials to open the parks in their jurisdictions throughout New Jersey.
While governor says he is leaning toward a statewide approach, it’s too soon to rule out a county or regional strategy, similar to what’s proposed in New York state

Before the economy can begin to recover, New Jersey will need to see a two-week decline in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, expand testing capacity to double the current level, recruit as many as 7,000 people to track down infections, and be ready to house and care for residents who test positive and lack a safe place to quarantine.
Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden reacted to the news that the New Jersey Department of Corrections approved the furlough 50 state prisoners over the weekend with an impassioned post on facebook in which he thanked the New Jersey’s corrections officers and apologies to the victims of the criminals being send home.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s daily press briefing at the the War Memorial in Trenton, NJ on April 24, 2020, regarding updates on the corona virus.
Governor Phil Murphy and Superintendent of State Police Colonel Patrick Callahan announced an Administrative Order on Monday clarifying the list of businesses permitted to operate during the COVID-19 State of Emergency.
Pet grooming, pet daycare and pet boarding services are considered essential under Murphy’s Executive Order #107 and are permitted to operate.

I’m looking forward to the facebook comments on this one.

Sexual predators and human traffickers have not taken a holiday during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Victims need to be rescued and survivors need assistance. Predators are online grooming vulnerable children and women.
Middletown Mayor Tony Perry has written New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal requesting the “immediate and full reversal” of his directive to close the Henry Hudson Trail.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office forwarded the Attorney General’s instructions that the trail be closed over the weekend to police departments of towns that host the trail, Perry told MMM.
An Asian female estimated to be between 20-30 years old was discovered by a passerby on Ideal Beach in Middletown this morning.
MMM has learned that authorities believe the woman committed suicide by jumping off the Verrazzano -Narrow Bridge, the span between Staten Island and Brooklyn, on Saturday night. The body, which was clad in a cocktail dress, was discovered on the beach in Middletown on Monday morning, April 27.
More than five weeks after ordering New Jersey residents into a near-lockdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Gov. Phil Murphy will unveil his plan Monday to start rolling back those restrictions.
On Sunday night, Murphy tweeted a logo touting “The Road Back: Restoring Economic Health through Public Health” with the promise of more details at a noon briefing in Trenton, when state officials will also detail the latest status of the outbreak that has infected 109,038 and killed 5,938 New Jersey residents.
