Wyckoff Mayor Reports 3 New Coronavirus Cases

WYCKOFF, NJ — In a letter dated July 7, but posted to the Wyckoff Township website on July 8, Mayor Tim Shanley reported three new cases of the coronavirus with the township.

With the three new cases, Wyckoff's total number of positive test results stands at 355, according to Shanley's letter and Bergen County numbers.

On Wednesday, the New Jersey Department of Health reported 27 new cases of the coronavirus in the county.

Wyckoff, Shanley says, is in a good place when it comes to the coronavirus.

"The reports today show we are on a good track but need some improvement in reducing the hospitalizations. The virus transmission has been reduced in Wyckoff and we are in good shape as a result of wearing masks, avoiding large gatherings, socially distancing and watching out for our neighbors," he wrote.

Shanley also shared that on a phone call with aids of Gov. Phil Murphy, he was told to expect a state mandate on mask wearing, which came to fruition on Wednesday.

As New Jersey deals with the rise of coronavirus cases nationally, three states have been added to the growing list of those on a travel advisory, and Gov. Murphy has delayed future reopenings.
