May 1, 2020 - Office of Emergency Management - Weekly Update
Weekly COVID-19 case update
Since last Friday’s update, Cranbury Township has been notified of three (3) additional positive cases. These three additional cases bring Cranbury’s new total to thirty (30).
On Wednesday April 29th Governor Murphy signed Executive Order #133. The order allows State Parks and Forests to open to the public for passive recreation, including fishing, hunting, boating, canoeing, hiking, walking, running or jogging, biking, birding, and horseback riding. Picnic areas, playgrounds, exercise stations and equipment, chartered watercraft services and rentals, swimming, pavilions, restrooms, and other buildings and facilities, such as visitor centers, interpretive centers, and interior historical sites, shall remain closed at this time. To limit physical interaction, the State Parks and Forests must implement reasonable restrictions that include:
- Limiting Parking to 50% of maximum capacity
- Prohibiting Picnics
- Requiring Social Distancing to be practiced except with immediate family members, caretakers and household members
- Banning Organized or Contact Activities or Sports and gatherings of any kind
The Order also recommends that people wear a cloth face covering while in public settings at the Parks and Forests where social distance measures are difficult to maintain.
The Order also opens County Parks to the public, except any Parks Closed by the County prior to Executive Order #118. This will treat County Parks the same way as Municipal Parks; the locality gets to determine whether they are open or closed. County and Municipal Parks that remain open must abide by the restrictions placed on State Parks in Executive Order #133.
The Order also opens golf courses with social distancing policies and restrictions.
As we now begin to see restrictions gradually lifted, we remind our residents to continue to practice social distancing, wear masks where social distancing cannot be maintained and continue common sense hygiene.
