The employee who tested positive in Springfield was last in that center on Oct. 1; the employee who tested positive in Delanco was last in that center on Oct. 9; and the employee who tested positive in Runnemede was last in that center on Oct. 10.

Delanco Road Test Operations are in a separate facility and will remain open. The centers will be cleaned and remain closed until contact tracers have cleared enough employees to reopen or any required quarantine is complete, officials said.

In total, seven MVC Centers are currently closed due to an employee testing positive for COVID-19 at each location. The other four centers that are closed are in Eatontown, Paterson, North Bergen and Newark.

None of these centers have experienced what is classified as an outbreak, officials said. The employees didn’t contract the virus while in an MVC facility, officials said.

“We are proud of this record and will continue to follow our strict guidelines,” officials said in a statement.

Customers can find alternate centers to visit on the MVC’s Facilities Location page. Customers can also use the MVC’s Online Services page to conduct transactions like license and registration renewals online.
