We are very happy to report no new cases and no new deaths. We only have 1 active non-LTC case in New Providence, and no active LTC cases. Please continue to keep our lost, afflicted, and their families in your thoughts and prayers. We would like to continue to keep a light in our window until every COVID-19 afflicted is recovered. We will continue to keep you updated as we receive confirmed information. At this point we will only report any changes. Things are looking good here in New Providence!
Please continue following all safety protocols, and practicing social distancing. Please wear a mask in designated, required areas including inside retail establishments and where social distancing is difficult. If you can not wear a mask due to health concerns, please have your doctor documentation with you (a dr note excusing you from wearing a mask is sufficient. It does not have to state why). We are required by law to enforce all state laws and all the Governor’s Executive Orders. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
