BRICK - Days after Brick s farmers market opened for the 2021 season, Brick s mayor asked the state Department of Agriculture to reconsider outdoor mask mandates for farmers, venders and market customers.
Mayor John G. Ducey, in a letter to state Agriculture Department Secretary Douglas H. Fisher this week, said Brick Township has enforced safety measures throughout the pandemic, but that each farmers market host should be permitted to determine mask rules based on their event setup. As a successful, safe host of a tremendously popular farmers market, we expected the opportunity to make rules and modifications for 2021 based on the number of cases in our community, the event s setting, the length of the event, the number and crowding of people…, and the behavior of attendees at the event, Ducey wrote to Fisher.
ASBURY PARK - Tammy Murphy, wife of Gov. Phil Murphy, toured a vaccination clinic here Tuesday that has been on the front line of Asbury Park s battle against COVID-19, particularly in the quest to get the vaccine to communities of color.
The Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey, which operates the clinic at the Asbury Park Senior Center on Springwood Avenue, in the predominately Black west side of the city, has administered some 25,000 shots so far in Asbury Park. Across Monmouth County, they ve distributed 77,000 vaccines.
It has no plans to stop anytime soon, even as some vaccine sites have curtailed vaccine distributions in the face of diminished demand. The effort continued apace Tuesday, as people continued to come through the doors, seeking protection against a virus that has killed more than 23,000 people in New Jersey.
